153 in a super C

Anonymous-0 · Nov 21, 2011

I'm in the process of istalling a 153 in a Super C.
I took out the crank to bore it out to install a pilot bearing.
Anyone out there that can tell me which bearing to use.
Also to someone that has done this swap can you tell me do I install the water pump from the 123 and the fan mount or use the 153 water pump and fan.
Please advise and thank you.
I also decided to install new rings and bearings while I have crank out anyway.
What is the torque requirements for the rods and main bearing bolts.
Tx.,
AGAIN.

We put a 153 in a Farmall B and rather than taking the engine apart we took the B flywheel and machined out the center and then made a large puck that pressed into the flywheel. Then in the puck we pressed in the original pilot bushing out of the crankshaft. Then we shortened and machined the input shaft to match what we had done. It actually worked out really well. I will say though in hindsight it would have been faster to place the crankshaft in the lathe and machine a hole for the pilot bushing. I guess we were trying not to spend money on gaskets.
