first things first. i am going to build a gow job one of these days. i have a t body and turtle deck, grille, frame, front axle, and a '33 ford flathead motor and trans. i also have the rear end. it is in sad shape. i have a '30 ford rear in good shape. now after all this diatribe my question. will the model a drive shaft and torque tube bolt up to the '33 trans?
 
you need to cut off the 6 bolt flange on the bell for the a trans, and get a later v8 4 bolt / 2 piece flange for the back of the trans. drive shaft is the same, u joint fits if the length is correct for what you are building
 
you just have to use the "clamshell " to match the transmission, the bell is the same curve, the driveshaft splines the same, the u-joint interchanges
 
All you need are the two V8 clamshell pieces shown below, with FOUR mount holes. The Model A trans is shown so you can see the difference. It's a "bolt-on" swap. DD
