I'm getting ready to pull the tin sided V8 60 out of my '37. Too bad because the car is original except for '39 brakes but every time I come up the hill to our house I feel like I'm churning butter with all the shifts back and forth between second and third. Tough on the trans when it's one of the early straight tooth gear boxes. Engine is in excellent shape and will be available with the trans after the swap.
Henry made a mistake putting this engine in full size cars. Might work better in stripped down model A. Good luck with it.
