I hope Santa knows how good I've been this year!! ;-)

I see a certain man and family building one of these in
Alabama soon if they haven’t already almost got it built

Interesting, according to Wikipedia, there was no such thing as a Flathead 302. Like the tractor
though.

That should move a lot of snow!!! But it's probably a trailer queen that he doesn't want to get
dirty!!

The blade is heavier than the tractor. Hope the front end is better than the original 2wd ones. Trailer queen will never be used for much.

Lol ..... Be fun. But not practical.

That motor looks like a Ford Flathead V8.

No, but you could probably build one like Chevrolet did. Chevy took a 327 block and put a 283 crankshaft in it to make their 302. I doubt if Ford actually built a 302, but the did build a 337ci Flatty. With the range of displacement engines that Ford did build it probably is possible to build a 302 ci Flatty.

Yeah you wouldn’t need that v plow for the winter weather you get. Although That last picture of frost on the ground you posted did look like a dusting of snow.

302 Boss Mustang 1968-70 made to run against the 302 Camaro in Trans Am sports car racing.
Then in many regular Fords and F150's
The one in the 8N is not one of them.

Looks like a flathead to me.

Goose · Dec 10, 2020

Before Chevy got the idea to do that, I bored a 283 block .125 and put 327 pistons in it.

It actually figured to 301.44 ci.

Practical, “NO”! But it sure would be fun to own. Lot of engineering
involved. Definitely a show piece. I’d ditch the plow.

And probably still has no brakes, no hydraulics and no pto when you push the clutch in.

SVcummins · Dec 10, 2020

And still was better than the team of horses it was made to replace

___________________________________________________

The Ford 302 began in mid '68 and was a derivative of the famous 289. That engine went on to power all kinds of Fords including F150s right up to the mid 90s.

The Boss 302 which powered the '69 and '70 Boss Mustangs was a very limited production version of that engine which had totally different heads with canted valves. In 1970, that new style head was carried over to the 351C (Cleveland) engines.
A brand new Boss 302 engine was available in the 2000s but had no connection to the original.
