Re: Donut spare tire
Suzuki Sidekicks used 5 X 5 1/2", but I don't think any of them had a donut spare. There was a citified version of them that may have. Google Suzuki X90, maybe.

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
GB, I agree with your thinking on leaving the existing crossmember, and adapting to it if possible. You need the structural strength of that member for the brake master mounting.

Re: Model A Marine Engine?
A friend of mine had a Grand Banks trawler from the '50's. It was equipped with two Lehman diesels of about 100 hp each. They were good powerplants.
