Well I got ahold of a guy who owns and runs the "Head Games " Oliver tractor . It is a Hercules just like our LDT-465 and he runs Alcohol in it. He just had an aluminum head made up for it. He is willing to give me tips on building up an engine that will reliably run. The first thing he said was to of course pump up the pump ! Watch the pyro though. The second was to go with the Bosch 100 injection pump, and if that was unavailable to go with a "Stanadyne" injection pump. He said if you went with the Stanadyne you would have to change out the front cover though. He forgot to mention the model number. Hopefully he will be answering more of my questions in another email. One of the problems facing tractor pullers with this engine is the back of the motor tends to blow out with too much horse-power. I don't plan on making that much horse-power ! I told him my goal was 180HP reliably . We'll see what happens.
Thanks JasonS for the suggestion of going to the tractor pullers !
