I'm looking at an engine rebuild for an Oliver 88 puller. I would like to know what parts swap in and out of an Oliver 88 block---like a Super 88 crank, different heads, manifolds, etc. I'd like to bump up the displacement from the original 231 to somewhere close to 300. Thanks for the info.

If you want to get up to 300 cubic inch , i would take a super 88 sleeve and take it to a machine shop and bore the inside of the sleeve out to 4". then get a automotive piston and put in there. This boring of the inside of sleeve will not requiire any boring of the block. You will then need to get your cam reground to get more lift. and if you wanted to you could also put a set of 4020 rockers on your stock 88 shaft and put the 88 adj. screw in them. that should give more lift yet. I would just use stock valves in cause you arent that much cubic inch to put big valves in. But go to a machine shop and get a three angle grind job on them valves. Also take it to a machine shop and have them mill the port holes out in the head i wouldnt go past 1.45" on either exhaust or intake. I would also go get a aftermarket 88 exhaust manifold and port it out a little bit but not to much. I would also get a 1650 intake manifold it has bigger holes where the carburator bolts up. port that intake manifold out also and port the hole from where the carb goes up on the manifold out a little bit. i would put on a carb off of a John deere 6600 gas combine. Or one off a John deere 4030 gas is the same thing. that is a good carb and you will have to tune it a little to get max horsepower. If it is a rebuild on the old motor i would also put in new main & rod bearings. and have the crank cheaked. Also a hot coil would do you some good also i would reccomend about 45,00 - 60,000 volt and also if you wanted to you could put a msd box on also. make sure you have some good quality spark plug wires. and get your distributor recurved wouldnt hurt either . hope this helps ya

most people are putting 310 engines out of 1850s in them or putting the heads with hopped up pistons really depends on how much cash you want to spend runs from 2000-10000

A good head to use would be a head off of a 320 c.i. Waukasha engine. I have one for sale off of a Waukasha power unit. It has alot bigger valves and ports. It bolts right on to a 88 block. I also have the int/ex. manifold for it. We are asking $800 for the head-complete with valves, and $300 for the manifold. Let me know what you think- (715)262-5156
