M Farmall-v8 conversion kit.

rustyfarmall · Jan 3, 2012

I don't think there is such a thing. It's pretty much do-it-yourself all the way.

Does anyone know where I can get a conversion kit to put a v8 engine in a M Farmall. Thanks in advance for any help.

Yep around here 99% of them are big block engines anything from a chevy to a caddy to 549 I H engines even some tank engines have been installed in anything from a H on up thru 706's.

It is a do-it-yourself proposition. There are threads in the archives that deal with various aspects of the subject. I've seen one with a flathead Ford, which looked real nice, and one with a 350 Chevy that didn't. I guess the key is to research as much as you can and take your time.
What are you thinking of using as a motor?

A guy I know of has or had one for a 350 chevy motor. If you are interested in it I can check with him.

My friend and i are putting a international 7.3L IDI Diesel outta a Ford truck in an M now. Had it running and driving for the first yesterday. ALOT of work!

Some years ago , I saw an M with a Ford V 8 and I think it was a 460, they said it wasnt that hard to install.

No kits just make your own its been that way for a long time like a flathead 6 cycl in an F-20 for plowing in 1949

No sense in messing around, put an IH truck motor in there. Keep it all in the family.

This is from Farmall land Museum in Avoca, Iowa, Jerry might be willing to help you with some info

How many bigger engines above the 345 did IH make??

ericlb · Jan 3, 2012

more that twice that size if you look into the heavy trucks in the late 40's and 50's, i want to say something like 704 cubic inches or something, expect like 2 mpg

I"m working on putting a Chevy 350 in my 51 H. I have the motor mounted to the original H motor plate and bolted to the tractor. I am waiting on a starter at this moment so I can proceed further with the tractor reassembly. It definitely is not an easy project but I think it can be completed in the next few months. An M conversion should be a little easier because of the size difference.
