Already have the heads on the tractor. Stock height though. Not enough time between rounds to do anything but change weight and adjust hitch. Brush pulls with maybe 6-7 tractors in class. Will try the SAE 30wt when I do the tear down this winter. Cold weather not a factor here in SC. No pulls after mid of Oct. Thanks for the pointers. [Reply]  [No Email]

Need to use 2nd gear for 8 and 8.5 since I spin out in those classes. Going to try 8, 8.5 and 9.5 this weekend, see how it goes. Since I motor out in 3rd gear 7.5 class, I just feel like a bit more hp will put me down the track farther in the higher gears. [Reply]  [No Email]

I pulled my 801 in 8500lb in 2nd and 9500 in 1st with 18.4-38's on it. All the power I needed. Also same with my 702B. My 812 gaser has the power but not the traction. caseman-d [Reply]  [No Email]

If you plan on port work do a lot of research before you do anything, if you send them out go to a good shop that knows what they are doing. If you have the time and money send your cam in to get it ground, i have had good luck with bullet cams. Good heads and a cam that will keep up with them should make a good improvement.

I've noticed the Diesel exhaust manifold looks like it may have better flow than the LP manifold on it. Whats the deal with the intake for a diesel? To keep the 336 looking like it belongs in a 711b. What would have to be done. [Reply]  [No Email]

The heads are coming off over the winter just to see what's really there, so that I know. Port matching is self evident to me at that time. I just looking for 10-15hp till the season is over. Thanks for your input. [Reply]  [No Email]

Use 504 case sleeves and pistons from a 504 Minnie. Use intake from a 400 diesel along with a carb from a 4020 or some other gutless gas hog. Have someone file on the cam. (IH grind) you can get 100 plus hp pretty easy. 4 Run 16.9 38s if allowed. [Reply]  [No Email]

Classes are speed limited, and she didn't do well in the lighter classes. She's 6k with no weights hanging. We pull 7 - 8.5k and doing well in those classes. Using 3rd gear 7.5k shes winning by a good margin (20+ feet), but stalls out before spinning out (271ft). So this tells me I'm hooked as well as possible, just need to be proactive, to keep it that way. :D Besides there's 29 ft left to go. Who doesn't want to do a full pull even if you won the class with a shorter distance? Thanks for the advise tho [Reply]  [No Email]

We pull one at 5500 with 400 cast centers and no hydraulic housing. You are right these tractors pull better in heavier classes. It is easier to build a 284 to 336 than find a 301 gas. If your rules will allow you may want to think about a 930 gas built to a 504 as the weight would not be a lot more. Look for a late 930 that has a 401 make it 504 and use 830 heads. The only machining would be on the bores on the block, 504 case sleeves you can by used along with the Minnie pistons. Then you can pull up to 12000 in mph classes. Look back a page or two at the ugly Case with the six cylinder direct injection. We also have the big 400 gas and diesel Case-o-matics. Use you imagination [Reply]  [No Email]

How about putting it on a diet and go to a lighter class? That would cost less and be easier than what you are talking about. [Reply]  [No Email]

You could gain a bit by matching all the manifold joints so they have no ridges where they match up, especially at the head. Depending on how bad they are you could get 10 hp there. Also you could remove the air cleaner and add a bell at the intake. If you look at any race engine they most always have a bell on the intake to help eliminate the turbulance which restricts flow. These things all make more difference at higher rpms than at stock rpms. [Reply]  [No Email]

Run your tractor just enough to get it to the track. A hot engine, even a small one like your 700 will loose several hp on the second run on a dyno. My 930 that would put out 150 hp would loose 8-10 hp as it got hot. [Reply]  [No Email]
