That is a 1935 Lycoming I-8 from the Lindberg 1935 Auburn Kit. I built the manifold for the supercharger and the exhaust pipe. I also had to fabricate an engine mount and oil pan.
FYI, the head is pretty detailed and the supercharger looks pretty good, but that is about all I retained of the engine parts. Everything else was lacking in detail, and it needed hot-rodded ;D.

I believe the answer is yes it is the Lil John's T Sedan Delivery body and grill, although it is one of the current releases. I got it on discount because it had been returned after being opened (I didn't know Walmart did that!) It got chopped 1/4" at the front and 3/16" at the rear. I also fabricated the inside to get rid of the "modern" interior pieces.

finally got some detail shots of the front end. It looked like a logical and clean way to do it to me, but I don't know how well it would work.

Nice build, Its got a lot of style and attitude. Your solution to the front works well... keeps you from stretching it out even further. It would probably work as a 1:1... but what do I know!

"It looked like a logical and clean way to do it to me, but I don't know how well it would work."
I call that imagineering and that's the way I love to model! I was wondering how I missed this when it was first posted. I am on antiquated dial-up and I'll bet I didn't wait until these large photos came up. Glad I waited it out this time. That's a GREAT build!! NICE WORK !
