Mainly because in a way we are purists.. the ford flathead four cylinder has good torque stock and outstanding 'keep up with modern traffic' torque when modified. It was my desire to prove the basic model a platform relevant in todays driving conditions, to run anytime without the protection of a convoy.

Ford marketed the model a as a car 'to meet todays (1927) demand for speed and comfort'...With modification it still does,90 years later..
