The structural integrity of the model a chassis come from the rigid backbone created by the torque tube driveline. The frame, highly flexible, is a means to support the front axle and provide a platform for the body. In running an open driveshaft you still have the issue of losing that backbone, transferring it to the frame is ill advised, once again the frame isn't designed to provide structural integrity for the chassis. Or to put it another way, its how hotrodders die..

Why run a chinese or mexico made aluminum cased transmission made in the 90's in a model A? to me,its akin to running a honda engine.Learn to shift your A,buy a toyota..if you want to quick shift a 5 speed..and the argument that its for 'performance' isnt sound..youre still going to get your lunch ate by that kid in a civic..
