Last spring I bought a 1936 F20 for a good price with the intention of restoring it to stock condition, but I got a crazy idea to put a V8 engine in it. Heres a little peek of my progress so far. I just the engine mounted yesterday, so its finally starting to look like something. The condition I bought it in:   16 inches longer and putting in the engine:  engine in!  most of the engine parts on, made the front gas tank support, and made the hood longer  the gauge pod  I am working on rebuilding the engine right now, today I dropped off the crank to have it ground down, and I ported and polished the heads, and cleaned, ground and lapped the valves. I should have the crank back next week and then I can finish rebuilding the engine and get it in the tractor and get it running. |

This is my first engine rebuild so I'm not sure if I want to strain it that much. Right now the engine is out of the tractor so I can rebuild it. Im keeping it at stock specs except for a dual plane intake and edelbrock carb. Im kinda makin plans for building another tractor and dropping in a cummins 4bt, I like diesels a lot more than gassers ;D ;D |

Just lettin you know, a 750 CFM carb on a hot 388 wont be big enough on alcohol. Zenner- id sorta watch out with 350 heads on a 283 block, the bore on a 283 is so small that you are probably going to get bad valve shrowding. Just letting you know. Probably a hodgepodge motor but I know a 350 head on a 305 is worse than a stock 305 head. Im no expert on SBC's (Im a Buick V6/big block olds guy) but you run into problems mixing parts like that with small motors and big heads. A 4 cyl BT cumming would be cool Or like I said on TTT, a 392 or 345 out of a IH pickup would be SWEET, however sorta pricey. Sorry, I like spending other peoples money! |

Sorry, I like spending other peoples money! thanks for the advice on the heads! I did some research on 350 heads on a 283 block I found that its not a good combo. In addtion to the valves, I would need some pretty spendy pistons to a decent amount of power out of it. I think im going to try to find some 283 heads somewhere. |

Yeah, most people think that all SBC stuff swaps over, but it really isnt true. The quench area is so different between a 283 and a 350 or 400 head that stuff can go wrong. It will run, but you either get stupid low compression (below 7:1) or huge numbers like 12:1

I have heard of guys putting 305 heads on 350s to bump the compression up. So I would guess going the other way could hurt you. I never had thought of that.
