I have heard of some having a 4 sp transmission, sounds like a great idea to me. what tramsmission is used, and any modifications that are neccessary info please
 
the 4 speed is a truck transmission, first gear is compound low, its almost usless for a car because its so lowed geared that its not practical, if you plan on using the car to pull a trailer up steep hills, or work it in the fields then its what you need, save your time and stick with the 3 speed
thats my storey and im sticking to it
 
The common 4 speed used in a model A is the ford F 150 trans. made in the 80's. fourth gear is overdrive and it is easier on the engine at 50-55. The first three gears are pretty much the same as the A ******. I have one in my Tudor.

Several people make kits with the adapters and transmission. I got mine from Dave Delmue. LINK http://modelaonly.com/about_us

At least two other people make kits. They all have good reputations and feedback. The ones that use an AA belhousing like Dave don't require cutting the rear crossmember.
