I can't say for sure but aren't the motor mounts to far forward to be a Chevy ? Mopar engine maybe ? Like I said my monitor is so small I can't tell for sure . But as nice and clean as this installation is what good is it other than a conversation piece even as a puller ? You've got an engine capable of 7000+ rpm and say 300+ hp in a drive train capable of handling maybe 2000 rpm and 70 - 100 hp maybe . It's true you'll never twist an axle but what are all those ball bearings in the trany supposed to do when they are let to go free ? Unless the builder of this fine unit went ahead and changed all the bearings and bushings to timken style tapered bearings with some kind of thrust absorbing capability I don't see a very long future for it . Anyway I'll bet it's fun taking it to the shows and playing with it ! It does look like a really clean tractor however it works !
