    Stock wheelbase of the A is 103 1/4".
    Firewall mods and trans tunnels have nothing to do with wheelbases.

    Well, actually, firewall mods can affect wheelbase with a suicide front end. In my build, the wheelbase would have been 112" without a firewall mod. By recessing the firewall 3" and moving the engine back a like amount I was able to achieve a 109" wheelbase. this is based on mounting the radiator behind the front cross member.
