Haven't considered that. Will look into that.
Got some new questions for you guys. The current engine I found out is a 54 235 pressure engine. It runs really good but has a crack in the block under the manifolds that runs 3/4 the lengthy of the block. I cleaned it up good and put some JB weld on it. Since it is not a pressure system it did a good job of slowing it down and shouldn't be a problem for the amount of us it will get.
That being the case I am going to start working on a replacement engine. It is not the original so no need to worry about saving this one.
So the two choices I am considering are, building an upgraded 235 for more horsepower and torque. Or going with a small diesel, possibly a 471 Detroit. Though about a 3126 Cat but no way I can get it to fit, just to big. Definitely not looking for speed, more torque and pulling power.
What do you guy's think?
