If it wasn't a stock engine, it wouldn't be a T :) My 1914 T was setup 
as somebody might have had it in the 20's. The only modifications to 
the engine were the addition of an accessory distributor (one coil 
instead of 4), a water pump, and an accessory 3 speed transmission 
mounted behind the stock ford transmission. This tranny is why I was 
going the speed I was, it has 3 speeds, 1= 50% reduction, 2= direct 
drive, 3= overdrive. I was going down a hill, in 3rd gear, and that's 
when the cop pulled me over. :)
