Michael, I had my '51 G bored .090 over (wanted to leave a little in case I wore it out), put in 6.5:1 Hinrich supplied alumy pistons, had the block deck checked for straightness (it was okay) and had about .125 took off the head which it needed, good valve job, little carburetor work and tuned on dyno and I'm pretty happy with it...dyno's 58-60 hp on the PTO and pulls 62-63 hp on the belt dyno. It has about 130 lbs. compression and still runs okay on GOOD regular gas...plowing, pulling, whatever, starts good...had the starter rebuilt just to be sure. It might power out in 2nd gear on a really good track but never in low at 6500 lbs with 14.9's. Won quite a few pulls...beat only when I can't get tires to hook.
