They went to the 6 cylinder in 29. The crank is from a V8, so you can not use the A cam, because the A is a flat crank. The chev is 90 degree crank. The valve timing would be wrong.

The 153 crank would be great, but it is to short for the A block. The A block is wide between 2,3 cylinders because of the dist. going through the head and into the block.
