Fast Model A Ford

See if you can guess what engine is in it from the sound as it certainly doesn't sound like a Model A engine.

Sped up film, bad over dubbing, I'm surprised you did not save this one for April Fools Day

You don't believe that is a Cosworth BDA?

 

Note the timing belt on the front of the engine. Not found on a OEM Model A.

 

Clever arrangement to conceal the fact that the top of the cam cover is not the top of a cast iron Ford flathead.

 

Individual throttle bodies, not found on OEM Model A engines.

It's powered by a 122ci aluminum Cosworth BDA

Guess I stand corrected, still something about the driving scenes that screams artificial manipulation.

The reluctance is understandable…a Cosworth BDA in a Model A Ford is just wrong on so many levels. :jester:

This is how the car was built - enjoy!

Sounds good, but lacks that tinny, hollow sound of a real Model A.

My first car was a 1928 Model A Coupe. I had a buddy who also liked Model A's, and he built a dragster with a model A engine with a Funk overhead cam conversion. Fast, but nowhere near as fast as a BDA.

i think it's great that it was built to be not only a sleeper, but deceptively as far as sound and visually. a lot of time was put into that machine.
