How big of bore, with out sleeves, can you get in a 263 ih motor? Im having a hard time finding a 301 block. Question 2: Would you recomend using a truck style head or tractor head with flat top pistons? That may be a silly question, because I can't find a truck head either. But if it would make enough differance I would go on a hunt for one. Thanks guys!

A rod made with an offset rod cap, even stock center to center distance, and stock rod journals, can open up stroker options and still keep inside the block walls and have full coolant in the jackets. 1 inch stroke with stock rod specs and a different type of piston,,,, could make one 140-150hp easy and hold up??

I have gone to as much as 4 1/2 inches with ford pickup pistons and sleeves in it. You get pretty thin between cylinders and you have to fill it almost full of hard block. Not clear full. Leave enough space for water to circulate thru head and thru the panel area. If you do this you have to not over abuse it by jerking on things as it will crack the block in no time. Smooth take offs and smooth finishes of letting it down easy if doing a wheely when pulling. Chad has the best ideas on this that I have seen posted....deadeye

In the stock block, .060 over the 301 bore is good enough, 4 inch and its thin and will break, eventually. Truck heads are like the LP heads for the letter series farmalls,,, higher compression and bigger ports. same valves though,,, but you can do alot of work to put it all together and have a good, cheap engine that has some power. The truck head is a conversion,,, cause you cant use nothing from the tractor,, well maybe the push rods,,, the valve cover, rocker arm assembly, and the thermostat housing is different on the trucks,,,, the cover is narrower and the rockers are shorter, even the shaft and the supports are not the same. he stock truck rockers are the exact specs of the farmall M,,,,, so if nothing could be found, and custom set could be retorfitted with custom stands. Hope this helps, ChadS ChadS3@hotmail.com
