Probably any of the Continental Zs will bolt up, but I've not tried it. Z 120, Z129, Z134, Z145... Eventually Perkins' 152 diesels bolted up, but my MF-135 parts book shows a different front assembly for the Perkins diesel and gas engines. The Standard engines were a British "feature" and in NJ parts may tend to be more than rare. Continental parts will be more available, a lot more available. Then maybe the owner is better at taking apart than assembling and all you need is a parts book to show where all the bits and pieces go and a shop manual to check clearances and settings and its a kit (with the addition of replacement wear parts like rings and bearing inserts) waiting for your patient assembly. Price your offer accordingly. There could easily be some common but rare parts (camshaft, pushrods) lost and not easy to find, to say nothing about bolts like rod cap, main bearing cap, and head bolts. Gerald J.
