I restored my Grandfather's 1936 F-20. It had been sitting out in the weather for at least 20 years, probably closer to 30+. The engine block was broke badly, so it needed a new block. I was able to get the pistons out, but the sleeves were junk. Beyond that, and a head rebuild, it was an easy fix. The tractor was near the gulf coast, so lots of rust. If your block is not broken, then it may be easier, and cheaper, to fix the original engine than try to fit in a newer one. Modern car and truck engines tend to want to run at a higher RPM than the older ones, so your gearing will be wrong. I suggest you pull the head off and see how bad it actually is. The bad stuff may be isolated to just one cylinder. Or, the whole engine will be junk. It is best to know before buying parts. The tractors will be worth more with their original engines intact.
