Gave up on install of a V8 flathead conversion because did not want to cut up the firewall and move steering column, so now I am looking to do the Iron Duke. Where can I obtain an adapter to be able to use my stock Model A drivetrain, I have the Mitchel Overdrive and a stock transmission and am comfortable with both, and only want to install the Iron Duke for a planned trip across country next year that will be more capable when running 60 - 65 for long periods of time, it would cost over 8K to upgrade the stock engine to do the same thing, and besides could care less about originality. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated, and if anyone has an adapter for sale I am very interested in purchasing.
Iron duke has the same bellhousing as a Chevrolet v8, adapters are still made to use an early Ford V8 (34-48) transmission and will bolt to the Model A rear end. Later trans is stronger and has synchronized 2nd and 3rd.
