I'm finally to the point of completely going through one of my M's. Obviously a lot of you have been through this process and have seen different combinations, so I'm looking for some advice. The two candidates I have are a '53 Super M and a '51 M with the 5000 ft. high altitude option (X1-b). The goal is to build a solid work tractor and take advantage of modern parts and fuels to get a reasonable increase in power. I know that I can get sleeves and pistons to make the '51 have the same bore size as the super. The question is which cylinder head to go with. I haven't been able to substantiate from research if the high altitude head has smaller combustion chambers or just more dome on the piston. I haven't pulled that engine down yet to to a physical check of the chamber size. The other factor is if the ports are better designed on the super M head vs. the earlier heads. I'm thinking of using a 450 camshaft to help with the power increase but not sure what would be the best intake and carb to use. What would you do?

The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
