V8 in a model A

Hello, I'm a new member. I have a 1930 roadster that I want to put a

1950 flathead V8 in. Can anyone give me any help with this swap?

(dimentions, where to place mounts,what to watch out for,etc.)

Also,I am using a dropped axle with cross steering. THANK YOU bill

 

Welcome bill. Use the search feature as there is countless posts on AV8s. nice choice btw.

 

Always good to get more HAMBers. If you haven't checked out the "How to Build a Traditional Ford Hot Rod " by Mike Bishop & Vern Tardel you should get a copy. They used the older 46 thru 48 59A motor in it which is easier to fit in a model A but it will give you a lot of ideas for setting up a flathead in there. Cross steering is not as traditional as the old fore & aft type but to each there own I say. As ironfly28 mentioned, searches should find plenty of information or just post up new questions as they come.
