My FIRST impulse is to ask why you'd wanna cross up the DNA of a perfectly good Farmall, especially when IHC built so many varieties of good low-rpm torque motors, all the way up to the V-605 gas V8. But then the hot rodder in me asks, "Why NOT?"

As long as the flywheel will physically fit in the M bellhousing, and the 289 balance situation mentioned below is dealt with--neither of which should be an insurmountable problem--I think the final product would be a HOOT to run...just don't know how practical it would be. But then, I guess you didn't ASK about practical [the 289 being a short-stroke motor and therefore NOT a torquemonster is what brings this to mind], so that'd be entirely up to you, as it well should be.
