Cling's makes a kit to put the 32-53 trans in the A - https://www.clingsaftermarket.com/ad....asp?prod=3000

The Model B (and the V8) was the first of the Ford synchro transmissions. They got better as time went on, the '39 being the best. The gears go in but if I remember correctly you had to assemble it in a certain sequence and maybe do a little grinding on the case, call Van Pelt. Remember you are also going to need the '39 shifter tower. You are also going to need to figure how to mount the clutch/brakes (Model A had them on the transmission, Model B on the frame) and the wishbone (Model A had it on the transmission and Model B had it on the frame). You are also going to need the cover for the U-joint for the Model B as the Model A was different. The rear mount went to the K member in the ,32 so you will have to get creative. According to the Green Bible the B7090 U-joint fits 1928-1948. Good luck, I decided to use the Model A transmission when I put a Model B engine into my Model A. The photo shows my Model B.
