hi guys... just looking for some info on some possible upgrades... was thinking lines or injectors, also looking at roller rockers and cooper head GASKET JUST wondering what people r using... thank you
 
I am sure this idea wont sit well with some but it is what I would do. I would get a 301 Diesel out of a 715 combine and put it in 560. You would be starting at about 95 horse,turn the pump up a little and that would livin up 560. Probably cheaper in long run You will have all the parts to do the switch from your 282 to make it fit. Bigger line or coppper head gasket wont help any except who sells you the parts. You should be able to find running engine for 600.00
 
Can you make a stock 560 block into a 301? If I put a 301 in my 560 will people be able to tell the difference? My son just bought a 560 diesel because he wants to compete against his uncles JD A and Super M.
 
I was told once that to build some extra power with a NA 560 diesel to use 460 diesel pistons because they are a flat top to boost compression.
 
I have a 301 diesel out of a 403 IH combine runs 2800 rpm.If you run the IH midget nozzles and a 370 roosie pump will have lots of fuel don't need different lines.Are you turboing it?You can take the liners out and put 301 pistons in it also.
 
If you want to make power out of a 560 run a 301 gas with a truck head, 806 manifolds, 715 combine carb with work, and a good cam. Can make an easy 120 hp at 3000 or so rpm.
 
I have a 301 diesel in my 560, the engine looks the same as the 282 but their are a few little things that give away that it is a combine engine but most people dont know the difference. the truble is that unless you weight it down to 9000 plus pounds it just spins out, in 6500 my stock ole super M will beat it.
