Most folks just made their old Model A into a tractor or doodle bug. many were derived from AA trucks with double transmissions to get good gearing.

Unless a person loves a good challenge & has a lot of resources, I'd just find a good motor and fix it. They all had sleeved blocks so a cracked block is usually the only thing that kills them. They were plenty good for what they were made to do. I'll stick with the OHV model since it does exactly what I want it for.
