53 8ba in model A

[ShiftyRat]

I am sure this question has been asked a hundred times but i have not been able to find it. Can I squeeze a 53 flatty into a stock model a frame without cutting the firewall. If yes can somebody point me in the right direction with a generator fan setup. I have the truck water pumps already. I am running a hogshead with a 1939 Lincoln transmission. I have 32 shaft and shifter leaver installed in the tranny. Also have 32 crossmember and 32 pedals.
Thanks for the help!

Chad, very likely the reason why you did not find any of this information is that Ryan asked this forum be reserved for the topics related to Restoration of the Model A. When questions like this does arise, he asked for them to be discussed over on H.A.M.B. While I feel you will always be welcome here, more experience related to your specific questions can probably be found on that 'sister site'. Good luck and best wishes on your project!!

Earlier flatheads were a tight fit, the 8BA with the front mounted distributor may be even tighter???

Jim B,
Yeah, that's why(no fab skill/equipment) I recently sold my rebuilt '49 8CM to the guy whose V8 QC you are doing. Well, at least I told him to see you and he said that he did. How's it coming along..pic ?
