I have a White 2270 with a 354 turbo charged Perkins. A very rare tractor, I believe only one was built! Just kidding. It was not that difficult. Once the engine plate was designed the rest was relatively straight forward. What a nice tractor to drive and run as the long wheel base results in a smooth ride and they handle so nice which is true of all 2270's, G1355's. We use it for seeding ,pulling a rake etc. An electric fan would have made things simpler, but I designed a fan with a longer shaft from the pulley on the Perkins. As many of you may know a Perkins is cheap to overhaul as so many were used in Massey combines, parts certainly are not a problem. My engine was out of a 760 Massey combine.
By the way guys, thanks for the comments re: "what killed Oliver"
 
My neighbor is a mechanic and he has a White 2-150 with a turbo 372 Perkins in it. Added a turbo to a NA 372 out of MF 750 combine.

Interesting,thanks. The 354 Perkins is perhaps a bit physically small for the 2270 but it sounds great with a 3 inch straight pipe.
I would really like to try a 3306 Cat or a Detroit 8V71 in one of my
2270's . I have a 354.4 Perkins out of 850 Massey combine that would have more hp, combine is worn out but the engine is in great shape.
 
How abouts a Perkins V8 from a Combine? Perkins 6354 were built here in the UK but some parts now difficult to find. Big end bearing no longer stocked, think Ill have to get them from you guys in the US. I have a 6354 in a MF1130 which i have dismantled at the moment. I have a similar engine waiting to be fitted to a Fordson e27n, I think that would be big engine little tractor, opposite of your big tractor and smallish engine.
