Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1939 engine in a 29 Model A, motor mounts, v8 engine


Question
I have a 1939 Ford FlatHead V8 engine and transmission that I would like to put in a 1929 Model A 2 door sedan.  I don't want to change the appearance of the car.  Is this feasible?  Would the front end need to be "beefed up"?  I know I would have to change the radiator, I have one I could redo.

Answer
It should fit under the hood but some welding and fabrication for motor mounts and such will need to be done. We did it all the time when I was a teenager. I had a roadster with a similar set up, although I ran with no hood because of cooling concerns.
