I'm putting together an 88 engine and am wondering what the horse power will be. here's whats being done, 3 7/8 M & W domed pistons, super 88 crank and rods, 88 head with super 88 valves, port matched 1650 intake, and 1650 carb. I will be pulling stock rpm's in the first gear farm stock class in the 6500, 7000, and 7500#. Cast wheels all the way around and Summit 23 degree 14.9 38 tires. Thanks.

first of all your tractor should not be in the farm stock class have some class and put it in the super farm where it belongs . It is guys like you that discourage a lot of begining pullers. I see nothing to be proud of in beating up on fellow pullers who are trying to have some fun with what they have.

I hope I don't get any thing started, but I don't think running stock parts that have been portmatched is out of line. If the engine was a stroker or had extensive head work that would be different. To me farm stock would represent a tractor that is in field ready condition, and could be used all day without overheating issues. As far as having a 1650 intake and carb, this is a direct bolt-on. Have you ever met a farmer that wouldn't use any part that would work, even if it was for another application? Now if the local rules prohibit non-modified parts that would be different. I hope I didn't step on any toes, this is just my opinion, Stu.

Stu,

I'm on your side and maybe even a little
more hard nosed . I think if it came down the assembly line with a list of items , then that is what stock is , not with half of the gears
missing the pto,and the lift arms missing . The same bunch that want to strip one down for
weight will go to a show and nit pick a restored
tractor for what is not original , seem like a double standard . Around here custom ground cams , extreme rpm,
stripping for weight to get in a class that it
should not be in are the big things . Also bigger valves , port and polish the runners,and cutting heads way beyond limits. I would consider that
cheating .
