How much HP can a model A readend take

Thanks again to the question answerers! I'm done with this subject. I/m gonna leave this chassis alone and build another frame up with the same stance. I already have a low one. I'm lookin for a rearend now.

 

Sounds like it's for the best (it's been mentioned 150hp max) since conversation and reason are not what you asked for.

 

I've added a FHV8 carb, Header/intake, 12v, JuiceBrakes, & 235/85/16 tires on a stock Model A and my coupe is very drivable on a daily bases, which I do, jump in & go. I average 65mph on the freeway can do 70mph. It's my only driver I got now.

You do got to check things dont come lose & retorqe seasonally & check the fluids weekly but its a cool car & all that could be fun.

 

I did buy it for the 30 on 32 rails, V8, HotRod thing but I just got bit by the Banger Bug. It's pretty cool, & I never liked these motors until this one.

here is what i've done, 283 w/ 2x2 rochesters, th350 and a 1948 ford truck banjo with the speedway Conversion kit. i didn't have the heart to use a chevy rearend but i do have one as a backup just incase i break the banjo.

 

Put a flathead in it!

 

Paint if flat black!

 

that is one reason why i didn't go with the GM rear end, my car is set up for a flathead and someday i will put mine in it!

 

Thanks G.G. Yo ride is the one i was spyin on. Notice a 9" lookin rear in 1 pic and banjo in another pic. I thought it was a Model A rear.

 

the 9" looking rear end is a 1956 GM unit back incase i change direction or better yet when i start my new project.
