Picked up an 806 gasser recently, knowing full well it's limitations. It became quickly evident that the engine was not original--wrong valve cover, recently replaced oil pan, serial # not where it belonged. Figured it was a combine motor. For sure, the power seemed good. I could get her moving from a dead stop in 4H and not lug the engine much at all. The carby bits seem to be from an 806 (main jet and venturi)
