If you wanted to fit a model B engine to make the car consistent then you should find an early model B engine and swap it out.
Do you have any photos? would like to see just what they did?
I have a 1933 model B myself.

Frank.........Look at the picture just above YOUR post. That IS Doug's car. Look closely at the REAR tire. IT IS TOO FAR FORWARD in the fender opening. Some IDIOT with no clue didn't realize that there were two different length torque tubes and drive shafts between the 4-cylinder and V8 engines. When he swapped the V8 for the 4-cylinder, the D/S and TT were too short. So he hacked the rear crossmember forward and welded it in place rather than using the correct-length parts. This has nothing to do with numbers on a transmission. This does show that SOME people without a clue (NOT Doug) have no business owning or working on an old car. DD
