[Mike V. Florida]

If you go back and reread his original post you will reralize he is looking for "justification" for changing the car.

You can argue "lightening flywheel, 3.78 gears , downdraft carb and header to start , looking at doing volvo overdrive conversion, going to call about the conversion kit for this " makes the A motor "hold up better". But how does, "lowering front and rear looking at the T spring for the rear and drop axle in the front input" make it drive any better?

My opinion is that he wants to modify the car, and it's his and he can do what he wants, but it will not make it any more reliable than a stock A. Why not just go on and put in juice brakes, because mech ones don't work, box the frame because all A frames sag or will sag, change out the front end because they all wobble, the steering box has to go because they are hard steering, generators won't last so you need an alternator, 16 inch wheels because you need radial tires on the car to be safe, since you can't just pull up to any parts store and babbit won't last, drop in a chevy v-8. That should do it for a start!
