It never occurred to me to "modernize" an old car (except for hot rods). But then I learned that modern mods make the car better. 16" wheels are more stable, alternators are more reliable, halogens are brighter, turn signals are safer, etc, etc, etc. With some creativity, you could turn your Model A into a Pinto!
You'll have to decide what mods fit your personality. Are you a hardcore purist? Or can you live with a few modern upgrades?

Funny you mention that, because you can fit a pinto motor in an A with very little modifications, mounts up to the flywheel housing and everything.
