There are already "modern" starters available that fit directly on the Model A. I don't know if they have all the features that you talk about but they seem to have a good reputation. Having the gear mesh with the flywheel gear from the front is a good thing because the stock starter has been known to move the flywheel gear forward instead of against the lip at the rear. These use a solenoid mounted to the starter. If you can't locate one, PM me and I'll find a source for you.
p.s., nice choice of engines for your hot rod!
