Hi guys, hey can you put a model A trans behind a T engine? what does it take?

Doug Money · 09-05-2010, 07:53 PM

It would be easier and cheaper to put in a warford trans or Ruxtell rearend.

Dee Jay · 09-05-2010, 09:07 PM

Not saying it couldn't be done but I don't think it is feasable.

That probably depends on whether a Model A flywheel can bolt up to a Model T crankshaft and then what about lubrication of the main bearings, a process carried out by the T flywheel?

I have a Model A transmission set up to bolt behind a T transmission.I have had it for a couple of years but have not put it in as yet. If you do this you need a support brace also for the tranny to take the strain off the crankshaft.

You will also need external brakes so when you get it stuck in neutral you still have brakes.

You can't beat Rockies brakes. I like to tour a lot and do see some running without them. There noway I would do that. Back in the old days they never ran the speeds we do today.The roads were not very good either back then.

This is easy, get a Fronty Ford catalog, set your time machine for 1928 and go back with $250.00 in cash and get the new aluminum crankcase, turned down flywheel, clutch and U joint, come back and install it. Check on the price of a new Model A Roadster while you're back there.

I tried that, but I didn't think to go to the coin shop to buy some antique money first. I got arrested for counterfiting.
