The frame for the model A has basically straight sides, the '46 frane has rounded sides, is too wide, is too long and would cost too much money to make it fit and even then would most likely look like crap.  You're better off finacially and estically  to get an aftermarket frame or find an original ( seen at swap meets for $100) and box it if you are planning to use anything more than a 4 banger or mild flathead.
