I am thinking about installing a Ford V8-60 in my Model A PU. Is this practicle or advisable? As I have access to a nice V8-60 engine, it seems it would be lightweight, smoother and 20hp more than the Model A engine. Should I make the hook-up to the existing Model A transmission with an adapter plate, or find a 37 transmission and modify the U-joint/torque tube connection? What's been done before? Any advice would be appreciated.
