Wouldn't be cool to have a diesel 8N? Maybe a little 4-cylinder Perkins or something. I bet sombody somewhere has done it. If I did put a diesel engine in a 8N of course I would get something to crank it up to at least 35-40 horse. I would put twin chrome exausht pipes on it. No it's doesn't comply to O.E.M. standards but so many N's were made it's not like your ruining a rare tractor(there is a surplus).
Anybody else like this idea? Just a thought.

I had the same thought.

Is the bolt pattern for the 8N block the same as on the Ferguson TO35/FE35?

If so, then the Perkins 3-152 engine should work well in an 8N.

Has anyone else investigated this idea?

If some people can put a Chevy 350(grown) or a Ford 351(cheer) in an 8N, then you can make a diesel 8N. Henry may of had a better idea but he didn't have the only better idea.

It would be a heck of a lot easier to take the sheet metal from an 8N and wrap it around a Dexta, a 35 M-F or perhaps a hundred series Ford. Mike-Iowa

Why not put the gas turbine engine out of an M1 Abrahms army tank in an 8N? They weigh about the same as an N engine and develope about 6000 HP.

Might have to wear ear plugs to drive it but I'll bet it would be good at a tractor pull.

nothing is impossible

some things just cost more and take longer than others
