If ya want the most power then i would build the S/M and make it a 4 1/8th bore with a set of high alt. pistons with the stock S/M head and the 450 cam and a 450 manifold ,carb and dist. As for getting the most out of TODAY's fuels thats a joke. as you will never equal in todays fuels as what the OLD fuels gave , as i have gone over this many times before . Before 1975 when unleaded gas was brought out plain old reg gas at any gas station was 95 octain and hightest was 100 plus and real cheap gas was around 92-93 and todays best is 93 and cut with alkehol just how do you figure to get the most. Over half the problems tryen to run old gas tractors all comes back to fuel problems . And just wait till the problems start rollen in with the older diesels with the new diesel fuel like the last round that we went thru and it will not matter if ya have a rotary or plunger style pump . So when ya start uppen the comp. ya have to up the grade of fuel and watch the amount of ing. timing . The old sayen is if your going to play your going to pay. Back about 7-8 years ago i did up my one buddys gradfathers S/MTA with 8000 ft. pistons and the 450 cam a 450 head the carb and built his dist. to get the most with out a melt down we added the 450 manifold and it will flat up and run BUT we run it like all the rest of the gas tractors on 93 octain , now this tractor gets worked everyday doing what ever is needed and grinds feed twice a week for the cows .
