Awesome sleeper.
Here is what the actual model A motor looked like,
You might be surprised to know how many model A's there are on the road still, not bad for a late 1920's vehicle.
The model A connecting rods had a babbitted bearing, were created from a 2 part forging, complete with an oil scoop on the cap for "splash fed" oiling. I worked on the design and manufacturing for a modern aftermarket replacement rod with a shell bearing. Comes in multiple variations for two types of pistons, and one without the scoop for pressure fed conversion motors.
