It is fine for lighter roadsters or Model As, but for something heavier such as a 35 and onward , a larger 525 Saginaw should be used.

Use the 525 Saginaw. Much better for a heavier car. It's a tough fit and you need to use the bracket (vega or 525 in a 35-40 frame) that takes the place of the stock bracket. You also need to use the Speedway headers that allow you to use a Vega box in a 35-48 car/pickup. I did this on a 40 coupe.
