Hi all...
I have a '49 Ford F-3 with flat-head V8 that I would like to fix up and repower with either Ford 2700 series or Perkins 6/354 and make into my tractor hauling rig.
Couple of questions:
1. What was the approximate weight of the stock V8/trans combination?
2. Which diesel engine would you recommend and are there any 5-speed trans that would bolt up without modification? What do these motors weigh? Will these produce sufficient power to be useable in this application?
3. Ford F-3 had GVW of 6800 pounds...What would be maximum loaded trailer weight? Gooseneck or bumper pull recommendations?
4. Has anyone done this or similar project on this vintage Ford?
