I am looking for information on speed equipment and updates for Model A & B 4 bangers. I currently am working on a 1930 Towne Sedan with a high compression OHV head built by Joe Gemsa. The car was built in the 60s and I want to bring it up to some advanced stage with the availability of today's technology without losing the outward appearance of the 40s street rod. I have heard there is a bellhousing or adaptor to put an S10 5 speed behind the 4 banger. Does anyone know about this? I would like to retain the 30's two speed columbia rear-end and the car will be a daily driver, not a racer or trailer queen. Any help of what is out there will be appreciated.........
welcome jerry . i don't know much about speed equipment for model A's ..but i do know that head is very rare. do you have any pictures you can post? there are plenty of guys here that can answer your questions, i suggest you post your questions on the main board so they have a chance to see them and respond..this section is more for introductions and many don't check it out
Hey i know that offenhauser makes a T5 adapter, you should also check out speedwaymotors.com. I still might put one in my 31 Slant window.
