Wondering if there's any good places to find used tractor engines. Looking at getting a Ford 7610 engine (238T) for a future build.

Just trying to come up with some good avenues to take. Doing some hi po DT466 engines in trucks, but the old mechanical engines used a T04, which isnt much for flow. My thinking was an HX40/16 for a mild one(300hp & less). Then, an HX50/19 for the 3-400hp range. Possibly a GT40 thrown in there.

Just looking at them, and the parts for them. I have a stamping of 014 on it, and I'm sure it's not anything good. Tempted to just go for some .191's or the DDP set & call it good.

Anyone have pix of both? Just wondering how easy it is to tell the difference.

I've emailed just about every performance trans shop I could find. All I could come up with is a converter from either BD Power, or Suncoast. I did find a guy called 1stgen 545 that actually made his own low stall, and manual valve body. That was a little promising seeing it on youtube. Went...

Got a 10mm P-pump on a 466. It has a 0 plate full forward, gov springs 4 clicks tighter, and timing set to 20. It could use a little more, so I was thinking of a set of 191 Del valves to give it hopefully around 30 more hp. Any better ideas(that are affordable)?

Looking up head bolt spex, they show it as 70 ft lbs. That's spec for a 7/16" bolt. How will the head gasket even hold up to any booost pressure? How do the sled puller guys make em hold up? Drill & re-tap for big studs?

Isn't it made by Schwitzer? Is it a variant of an S300? What is it comparable to?

Is there a place to get any GT40 compressor upgrades? I'm trying to get a truck DT466P to some better power numbers, but dont want it smokey. It has a #0 plate, tighter gov springs, and timing set to around 20. It already burns it a little too dirty, and I'm afraid 50 more hp will get it pulled...

Just wondering if it's feasable for Head & main studs, and HD rod bolts. Not much market, plus there's no applications. I have to have em made by ARP. Which would you buy when building a DT466 engine(up to 1000hp)? The rod bolts are going to run over $100 by them selves, and I havent got the...

Just trying to get the gist of what has what. Last I heard, a DT466 has 10mm plunger & barrellls. Then the Cummins 6CT has 12mm. Does the Cummins B have 10mm P&B? Anyone have this type of info?

Anyone planning any big swaps? Engines are coming down in price. I saw a running Ford(New Holland) 6.6 for $1500. Also a take out DT466(P-pump) for $1000. IH-DT360 IH-DT466 Cat 3126/ C7 Ford(NH) 6.6 Ford(NH) 7.8 Cummins 6CT/8.3

So, if I'm getting this correct, loosen the jamb nut & slide that plate, then adjust the droop screw. The real question, is the governor adjustable, or is it a pre-set type of spring?

I've noticed, facing the front of the AFC housing there's another possible adjustment. It's a small bolt with a lever that has about a 45 degree swing to it. I took it out one time a few years ago, and I remember it had different sets of flat spots on the shaft where the AFC arm slides. Could...

A machinist friend of mine wants to see one close up, to see how much $ it would take to make some adapters. Even if it's a 6BT to a Ford ZF, a GM auto...anything.:thankyou2:
