Hello, I'm a professional engine builder with over 20 years of experience. I specialized in vintage engines often used for nostalgia racing. I purchased a 8N for use on my mini farm and immediately tore into the engine. I was disappointed with its power output and wanted to see if it could be improved. I felt the funk conversion was likely to over stress the drive train with any serious use. While a very cool looking swap it seemed like a better idea to improve the existing power plant. I have a nice list of modifications I performed in my machine shop that resulted in a power increase that is very noticeable along with a smoother running engine. If anyone is interested I would gladly pass along what I did. I am also available for rebuilding and matching services. I have a new cam profile that in its self is significantly better than the original. As anyone in the know could tell you cam profiles have come a long way since these were made. Please feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them in a timely manner.
Thanks,
Flathead Don
