Short answer- yes.
Long answer- you will need to modify the rear of the B pan by removing the flywheel flange. After that it is as simple as just using the Model A flywheel housing and bolt it up.

James is right, I am sure there are thousands out there!

When removing the oil pan flange you can cut it with off with a torch OR may I recommend that you cut the spot welds with a rotary saw and save the rear housing incase you need it to convert a "cut" pan back into a B pan or if you do not need the flange piece someone on Ebay will buy it from you!

Try advertising to buy or swap a stock Model B pan for a pan that has already been cut. As a Model B owner I hate to see another one cut up.

You can also use the A pan if you enlarge the radius to fit the rear main bearing cap. If you use 12-point nuts on the rods they will clear the pan, otherwise you will need to dimple the pan like the B pan.
