Dearborn Granny

[Pappabob]

I'm in the process of piecing together a 1931 Model A engine from a truck load of pieces, including many of it's Ford script, well worn internals to be put on a "running display" stand. The goal is to illustrate how "resilient" this old hardware is, have a "bucket load of fun", and show how someone during the depression with no money might have done this using as few NEW parts as possible and ended up with a running engine. For anyone who might be interested, check out my YouTube channel "Pappabob" and look at the playlist "The Dearborn Granny" (titled after this 91 year old "senior citizen".
The reason I'm here today is to ask any of you if you know of a "reasonably priced" muffler (that I might purchase at Summit or ??? ) to use on the run stand that would sound similar to a Model A. Finding a inexpensive muffler is no problem. Finding one that will sound like a Model A is ???? I'm thinking maybe a 6" round X 20" long unit???
I tried to upload an image of "The Dearborn Granny" following yesterday's efforts installing the oil pan. Not too familiar around here so I don't know if it worked??
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!

Thank you. I certainly appreciate your offer.

Unfortunately I'm about as far away, without stepping into the water, as one can get staying inside the USA. I'm in Northern California.
Again, thank you anyway!!
