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?
