Steering mechanism was the first thing I thought of too. Now THAT car would turn heads.

Had seriously diminished door openings, would be tough to get into, even for the short folk of that era.

The first visually recorded fart?

Cables & Pulleys would work
Saw a pic of a HUGE Touring Car, with TANDEM front axles, imagine the linkage mess it must have had

As for steering linkage.. I would not think it would be any more difficult than a VW bus a.k.a "hippy wagon"

Actually, there's a guy that has a diesel powered A in California. He use to post often on the Ahooga site before this one became popular.

Chief "collected" engines, once he considered putting a Perkins Diesel or a "modern" Wisconsin V-4, in a Model A. I thought the Wisconsin was a NIFTY idea! (NO overheating or coolant leaks!)

Yes, but you'll have stuck exhaust valves every spring.
And a word of warning, don't try to lift a stuck valve by prying between the tappet and bottom of valve, or you can snap the skinny camshaft. Wonder how I learned that one.

Now that is a sophisticated, classy remark. Sometimes I can't believe what people write. Comment should be removed. Wayne
