Is it possible to put a V-8 or a V-6 in a styled WC? Have a WC with a cracked block that is no good, and this tractor needs major work done to it. If anyone has ever done this, feel free to share it. Thanks!!

I would like to see the picture of the Hemi allis too. I have a styled WC that is getting ready to have a 350/370hp transplant. I found a guy who has a 327 in a WC, and he gave me the adapter plate I needed to match up the 350 to the WC bellhousing. He put hydraulic steering on his WC, but I like the picture of the WD45 with the steering routed thru the frame, I think that is the path I am going to take, it looks alot cleaner setup. I think having a V-8 tractor is going to be unique, and cannot wait for the day I can drive it in the town parade. When this hotrod project gets done I will post a picture. I am keeping a ledger of what I am going thru so I can possibly pass the notes on to someone else, or who knows right a small book on it, and cover some of my expenses.

This has been done many times in WD's and other models with both V6's or a V8 like in the picture.

One of the conversions i like is a small 4 cylinder Escort, or Isuzu diesel in one.

I know of a shed that has a 327 adapter, govenor, and all the bells and bolts for your conversion. The guy is a good friend and will almost --GIVE- it to me. This friend insists we stay friends and will not sell it to me. It is a factory looking conversion, but he said unless grandma only drives it to church on Sunday the tractor will not take the boy toy engine. Dave NE Iowa

In '69 a buddy and I put a 450 HP 409 cu in Chevy in a WC. Went tractor pulling in modified classes.

Quite a handfull trying to steer and use the hand brakes at the same time to control all that power.

One year of it was enough, but we had a barrel of fun and were unique on the local pulling circuit.

Been there-Done that. Back in the early 1970s,one of my best pals and I were given an old WC by a nice old neighbor.Block was so cracked,it looked like a tinker toy.A replacement was nearly impossable to find, so with a little encouragement and hands on help from our Dads, we installed a 327 Chevy in the AC.Instead of trying to mate the engine directly to the AC trans,we left the 4 speed which was already on the chevy and coupled it up to the input shaft on the AC trans.Worked great.Plus it then had 16 forward speeds.Had to lengthen the frame a bit,but was a lot of fun learning to weld.Was a great time for all of us.

Hey gatz, either e-mail me: [email protected] or toggle off the hide button next to where you put in your e-mail. Your address does not come up. I will be happy to e-mail you. I would post in the message, but have not figured that one out yet.

Well, if they can put a V-8 in a JD- "A", then you can put one in Anything...!! That "A" has a GM 350 V-8 Deisel in it... Sounds like a great idea... A governor off an older self-propelled combine would bolt on...
