Richard: I see you've accepted the advice of Wardner, Jim and others. I was about to suggest, you'd probably find the proper M parts to put around the M engine for less money than what you were proposing.

If you find your C-153 engine is just not worth the rebuild effort, I look for a 300 or 350 Utility engine, it would be a direct bolt up, plus you'd have a sleeved engine with some torque.

I may be a bit prejudiced, however I call that C-153 the poorest engine IH ever built. In fact of the 16 working IH tractors I've owned the 504 with C-153 was the only poor one. The engine was the only poor part, and I personally wouldn't spend $0.05 on a C-153. My 504 was gone down the road at 1,500 hours.
