I saw an interesting article on the web yesterday. There is a guy putting tractor engines in pickups and claiming to get 50mpg. Now I have thought about how well doing something like that would work for years. Dad has an old H Farmall and we have always marveled at how fuel efficient it is for the work it does. I’ve always been skeptical about how well the engine would work in an over the road vehicle though. I think that there are two limiting factors. One is that the engine horsepower is relatively low compared to a car engine. The other is the low engine rpm range. I think even with a 5 speed transmission the low red line of the tractor engine would pose a problem. What do you think?
