I like someone who wants to drive the Model A. There are lots of comments on original being dependable, which is a fair statement. I have driven a bone stock Model A many thousands of miles. But and it is an important one, the traffic and demands on a car now are much greater than 40-50 years ago. The sedan we took to Texas is set up with refinements that allow it to run at 55-65 miles per hour so you can flow with the traffic. We reviewed the heads and overdrives you are talking about using in the Model A Times in the past. Check around your local club someone probably has the old issues with the articles.

Good luck with your project if you see the Model A Times team at a meet stop in and say hi!
