I think you are on the wrong forum. Bruce has given you a good tip.
For me, you are talking some foreign language. Merc flathead? Mustang II? T5 - C4?

you might be better served on a hot rod forum! Wayne

For your car, I strongly suggest getting Vern Tardel's latest book: How to Hot Rod Your Model A. It will walk you through every step you need to convert it to V8 power.

Well worth it.
