Soo... For those who've done it, or seen it done...
How "involved" is the process or re-powering an old tractor with, say, a V6 or V8 engine from a "newer" (10-20yrs old) truck?
I'd guess a person would have to remove the old engine, and build a new "frame" to attach the tractor's front end, etc too, if its a frame-rail-less tractor... Might that be easier than cramming a V8 between frame rails designed for a straight four cylinder?
I'm mostly curious about how one would join the engine/clutch to the transmission... I'd *guess* that'd be the hardest part..
Any thoughts on such things? Thanks, guys...
