Hah! When I saw the Model A, but heard the engine screaming...had to laugh as that was no 1929 OEM 4 cylinder!
Here's my fav Cosworth.....what a sound! Most victorious F-1 engine ever.

My Cosworth is the DFX Indycar engine. It was a derivative of the DFV, but with 2.65 liter displacement (160 cu.in.)and turbocharged.
See http://www.museumofamericanspeed.com/Ford-Cosworth-DFX-Turbocharged-Indy-Car,2918.html.
Would you believe over 800 hp for 500 miles? It finally permanently replaced the Offenhauser 4-Cylinder Indy engine.

Yes As much as i like fullsize american cars. There is not much
that makes you feel alive like some fast laps on a gravelroad
through to Woods.
When i had the 65 Mustang my friend told me.
Just beacuse it has a rallypac dont mean its a
Rallycar ;D ;D. It was a real fun car on gravelroads
with shelby springs and koni shocks
That model A is an amasing build. First time i saw it
i thought that strange?. Model A never had Wood Wheels.
But they actualy cast Aluminium Wheels that they woodgrained
I saw a video of the build they realy made o lot of work to
make it look like a stock Model A. But most of the car is
reconstrukted.
Its built in Finlad not that far from where i live

Oh yes the Cosworth V8s.Whats up with the Brits
The cant build a regular familysedan or even a
bicycle thats not junk. But formula one Engines
and chassies and fighterplanes and such
they are among the best :o :o :o

When we talk about sick engine sounds, I think the tiny V16 race engine from BRM deserves mentioning
1.5 liters(90.8cid), 600HP and up to 14000rpm is impressive even today

Youtube is blocked where I work so I can't link any sound clips right now but do a search for BRM V16 there please

LMAO!! So true, too. I still have nightmares about a rear disc brake pad replacement I did back in the '70s on an E-type Jaguar, not to mention the Lucas electrical system...

I had a 1.6L in a 78 Feista. I had a Big Valve head (from Europe) that was ported and polished, Nasty Crane cam, Ported Ford intake, 11to1, 4 into 1 header and a 32/36 DVG carb.... When Honda first cam out with the V-Tech engine. I didnt have a problem beating them. Those engines they used for years. From tractors to race cars. Very tough! JMHO

Mechanical Music
I have been a big fan of international sports car racing ever since my Dad took me to the 1966 24 Hours of Daytona. I already knew and loved the sounds of the big American V8’s thundering around the tri-oval at full song in the stock cars.
But I had never experienced those engines (and many other types) going up and down the gears as they went thru the infield section and up onto the tri-oval for 24 hours!
Man I Was Hooked.
Back then there was minimal lighting just along the start/finish line and pit lane at Daytona and damn near pitch black at Sebring. So at night as you walked around the course you couldn’t see the cars except for their headlight arrays or the tail lights and exhaust configurations lit up with flames as they down shifted into the turns.
But you sure could hear them.
427 GT40’s, the 327 in the Chaparrel, V12 Ferrari’s, BRM 1.9L V8’s, Porsche flat 6’s and stout 4 bangers all had a distinct sound. After a while you could tell what just flew by their engine note.
It was fantastic.
Living in Ft. Lauderdale allowed me to attend the 24 hour, the 12 Hours of Sebring and later the races held at the Miami Grand Prix every year thru the 90’s.
Big boxer 12 cylinders from Porsche and Ferrari, screaming 3.5L BMW 6’s and V12 Jags, along with an array of other exotic 4, 6, 8 and 12 cylinder power plants were members of the band over the years.
The only annoyance was the shrill of the Mazda Rotary engines but they sure kicked ass in their class.
With all of the days spent at the races and the hundreds of pictures taken, I really regret not taking a cassette recorder with a good mic and recording the sounds.
I had a 1979 BMW 633CSi coupe with a heavily modified 3.0L SOHC slant 6. Allot of head work with a big cam and all of the emissions equipment removed made it damn sporty. A twin 3 into 2 header system with twin pipes out the back with a small resonator and twin tulip shapes tips gave it a sound all it’s own.
It started off as a growl that turned into a beautiful wail around 3500 when it came up on the cam all the way to 7 grand. That engine was built to rev so I drove around allot in 2nd gear on & off throttle listening to it talk.
Besides Auto Crossing it, the best was going up the gears thru the New River Tunnel in Ft. Lauderdale. It was too much fun. I wish I had movies of that car with good audio as well.
Thanks for the video clip, that was fun.
This is me long ago making some noise at a Auto Cross event in Boca. ww
