For more power/engine swap with minimum problems- check Puller forum archive-Chad S had a IHC 460 engine in a H, bolted right up to transmission bell housing. He had some techniques for H engine to get it to 35 to 50hp and still be work usable- basicly bringing H to super H/350 specs with later parts- cam, carb, bore kits. Couple postings about useing combine/utility engines into tractors also. V8 conversions could have a few problems. Note that Ford N/V8 swaps are usually show and parade projects as rear ends were designed for about 20-30 hp and V8s usually about 50hp if restricted to under 2000 rpm, 100hp hot rods with stock rears are not really usable in fields. H drive design used in 460 handled 50 hp. Are you interested in more hydraulic power for your loader? A 300/350 engine would give you about 40hp instead of 25, would have a live hydraulic pump possible. RN
