I know I can fairly easily get 300 hp from a P-pumped 4bt, how much power do you think I could reliably squeeze out of one of those 4.4's?
You mean before the head gasket blew, or you dropped a valve?

Not a big fan of them since they went to the Tier 3 emissions standards. WAY too many top end problems, and they seem to eat injectors faster than our other engines. We don't have a ton out there, but what we have had, have been hit or miss.

BTW, mine were the real Perkins version in MF tractors

Stick with the 4BT, or if you want odd, go with a Deutz air cooled, or a Sisu Diesel. Those are odd engines that are worth looking at I think I have a Sisu 4.4L 105hp left around here...
