Would the GMC V6 fit into a Model A easily due to its wider angle?
By chance how does one sound with straight pipes?
I think it would be cool since it is not a belly button engine, and he is game on it.
Thoughts?

In that A -bone, I would run a 283 chev....or if you want to be correct....A flat head v-8 Ford , would be the ticket. Take a Merc crank, offset grind to stroke it as far as you can....use the ford rods. Then bore the block as far as you can. Many speed parts are still there for that old Ford. Other than that, I feel that the old GMC 6 , will be heavy on the nose , of that a-bone. Just my thoughts.....Longhorn
