    46 vs 53 inch tires on a bobbed deuce?

    Where did you get the custom springs?

    46 vs 53 inch tires on a bobbed deuce?

    It will either get a lift or I'll trade for smaller tires.

    46 vs 53 inch tires on a bobbed deuce?

    I picked up a set of 53" XZLs this weekend for a good price. Yes, a bit of a lift is needed but it is still very driveable. The front tire rubs on the rear fender brace at full turn. I do not have the stack exhaust. My front springs have a negative arch; what is normal? I have very little...

    Modern multifuel redesign?

    Continental demonstrated 250HP and 550ftlb and believed that 300HP was possible with full multifuel capabilities.

    Engine block cracked

    While it may not be a problem with the dry sleeve multifuel, running a zero-pressure cooling system will increase the likelihood of cavitation erosion in wet sleeve engines.

    Long weekend multifuel swap

    Thanks for the confirmation. I was in a hurry at the end and probably missed something obvious. Thanks!

    Why so little power?

    This agrees with what I have read in that the high compression ratio hurts efficiency due to higher frictional losses. The engine design books that I have read state that the minimum compression ratio that permits easy starting should be used. I read some of the farm tractor forums to see...

    Yes, it is a larger, later model version of the 331.

    Long weekend multifuel swap

    I changed the grill to a multi variant. It seems like the hinges are slightly further aft on the gas truck. I'd hate to start modifying things if there is something obvious that I am missing. I plan to keep the radiator to use with the farm tractor repower. It is a strange version with the...

    Long weekend multifuel swap

    Several things led to this but basically I wanted to try something different and I got a line on everything to do the swap (engine/ tranny/ radiator, and all the bits and pieces) for a price that I could justify. The 400 Reo worked flawlessly and will give new life to a Farmall F20.

    Long weekend multifuel swap

    I traded labor and a snow plow for a good deal on an LDT-465-1C engine and radiator and swapped it for my 400 Reo this weekend. The multi is a MUCH tighter fit than the gas engine. Operating in the same RPM range, pretty close to the 400 gas. Hoping to increase it a bit with more fuel and...

    Why so little power?

    The ONLY part that you got right is that most dynos measure torque. Those that have a load cell mathematically calculate horsepower from torque and rpm. However, you CAN measure HP directly. One way is to couple an engine to a generator, connect it to a load, measure the power dissipated...

    Multifuel adapter for OTC engine stand

    I just bought a rotisserie stand. I'll take some pics of the hangars this weekend.

    Why so little power?

    You are mostly correct. Power over time is energy (ie. kW*hour).
