hello i have recently purchased a 1948 farmall m and i would like to make it into a decent pulling tractor to be competitive for the farmstock classes. The motor in the tractor burns oil and is worn. i purchased a bare farmall 400 block that i want to build into a 281 for this m. I have the cam, crankshaft, govener, rods,etc to build the motor but my problem is i do not have a head from a farmall 400. I have a 8060 head off of another 1948 farmall m that is good and a 8574 head off of a super mta but will either of these heads work if i have 4 1/8 fire crater pistons from hy-capacity in this 400 block or will the pistons hit the head ? any advice at all would be greatly apriciated!
thanks, alex
