I have a 1941 B that is completely torn down and in desprate need of an overhaul. The oil pump failed and did everything but sieze the engine. I have been looking for stock overhaul parts with no luck. I would like to know if anyone has any sugesstions for building a high performance engine out of it. I am currently thinking of boring the stock block to fit late styled pistons. Any ideas or stories would be appreciated, radical or otherwise. Thanks.

the later model b pistons are 4 11/16 with the same wrist pins you can bore the block and still use the head gasket it will help horsepower about 5 hp it still won't have a lot of compression about 5.5 to 6 to 1 you have to do other work to get the compression up hard to get the b up to a lot of horespower lynn

don't know about fitting late model pistons as clearances will be involved but it might be possible. Suppose I'm trying to decide what the end result you're looking for. You'll have to do a lot of work to make this engine a powerhouse. You might consider spending the money on a later model say 520/530 tractor. I found that the letter tractors were as costly to work on as the later models but worth only about 1/2 as much. My comments are intended to rain on anyone's hobby just an observation.
