A better question is why would you put the money in a fully synchronized overdrive transmission and stay at 40 horsepower? you've already passed the purist line,why not up the power some? your transmission can definitely handle it.You do the modification in part for the overdrive,you want more speed.In my opinion a T5 install is just as bad as a 350 chevy install,it kills the model a experience. With a modified flat head and a mitchell behind an A trans you have a choice,you can drive it like a stock A.
