Technical Halibrand QC ID and Tech Help

I recieved these Halibrand parts from an old friend; drum brakes, spool, grimy. I think I have most parts, except good bearings and housings.

There must be great ID people on this forum.

So which housings for a Model A?
Best place to get parts, bearings, etc?
Looks traditional, is it worth it?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

that's a typical Halibrand V8 QC center section .

 

As Pete said, V8 Halibrand center. The rear cover says Culver City, that's the early one. The open drive is a home made unit. The hubs are not a matched pair.
You need to get that thing apart, clean it up and lay out all the parts you have.
I would not run a spool on the street.
You cannot use Model A axle trumpets with the V8 center.
All the bearings are available.
You can upgrade in several areas.
Yes, it's worth it!!!!!
