Not only do they have the better flowing ports but I believe they're also thicker and more rigid as well. Good luck with your project. Those Binders are pretty easy and cheap to hot-rod, but in my opinion, it makes more sense to put money into a tractor that's good for something besides pulling, a Deeres win that contest hands down.

Along with the head you should put on the 55 series exhaust and intake manifolds which flow better as well. A turbo and cam from a 55 would another good mod to look into. I think the only thing you will run into with all of this you will need to find a different upper water pipe or modify the one you have. Put a front fuel tank on with a meth injection system hidden inside or an LP bottle in the intake and your good to go :D [Reply]  [No Email]
