John,
I've seen a few T cars with flatheads. They were pretty crude and
hacked up. Not something you would really want to duplicate. You might
reconsider. I've see a couple of early Volvo conversions. While not
exactly what I would want, the are also period-correct and a much better
fit. From what I remember seeing, the installations were much better
implemented than the flathead hatchet jobs.
