Nice, well come over sometime.
Re: driving a car "of the era," the high-compression heads were definitely available at the time. Most heads available now are replicas of period heads. Some other upgrades are also period-correct, such as mechanical spark advance and various cabin heaters. There was a thriving aftermarket ecosystem from day one, both in terms of comfort add-ons and improvements to the engine. Fahnestock's "Those Wonderful Unauthorized Accessories for Model A Ford" is a great reference for this.
