Has anyone ever tried this yet?

MattLF9 · Sep 23, 2016

I recently have had power issues with my 930
and I have decided to rebuild my 401.
But now I've been thinking about boring the
block out for 504 sleeves.
Finding flat top pistons would be the
biggest hurdle but about Moline 504 pistons?
Has anyone tried this combo yet?
I would be great if the compression height
and the wrist pin were the same as Case.

Did that years ago with a 830,dont remember if compression height was rite though,bigger issue was making head gaskets fit,with the bigger bore you can use 1030 heads as they have some more air flow,best bet is to put in a 451 from a 1070 or 504 from 2090

Have you put it on a dyno and checked horsepower??? Or pick up a 1070 or 1175 for close to the same money as a good overhaul on the 930.

I haven't dynoed it yet.
I just thought it would be cool to have a power cell 504.

I have seen 504 engines in 1030, just for show and pulling.

Not sure about the pistons, but custom pistons are not as bad as you might think. You will need to remove part of the water pump housing inside the block to get the front sleeve in. On my puller it did not hurt anything, but I'm not sure how that would affect a working tractor.

Who makes custom pistons?
That might be a better choice than chopping up MM pistons.

I have seen 451 diesel engines out of a 1030 in a 930. I had a chance to buy one one time, sort of wish i had done it
