I just don't know what the gain would be.You would have to make an adapter to mate the a to the bellhousing,then make some kind of adapter to hold the front axle to the front of the A engine.Funk made conversions to use both the Ford flathead 6 and 8 cylinder engines in the 8N's.Part of the kit was panels to move the hood both up and forward.The flathead V8 conversions looked really neat,but in the tractor applications the flathead 6 pulled better.
