To make a long story short, my 1948 C is underpower in stock tractor pulls. Bone stock, 3" flat head pistons and compression that leaves something to be desired (80-100).
Runs great. If it were for farm usage I would probably leave it alone.....but thats not the case.
I have a Farmall 140 I use for my "farm" usage. I am willing to sacrafice some of its power to benefit the C.
My plans are to take the heads and swap them. Take the C head, put it on the 140, and vice versa. The carbs look different so I will be swapping heads, manifolds and carbs.
After that I will get the 3 1/8" sleeves and stepped head pistons.
Lastly, the C has a MAG. The 140 has a distributor. I pland on swapping those as well.
I figure at that point, it will be up with the other C/Super C's in stock pulling. What do y'all think it'll do for power?
