Time to rebuild my 263, she's getting weak. We made it thru 1st cutting of hay but it's pretty sure she's about worn out. I'm thinking about finding another block or entire engine and rebuilding it while I limp the old girl along. Then get the guys together for a marthon engine swap over a weekend.
I've searched posts here and elsewhere to find what other blocks might be good to look for. I've found posts that lead me to beleive a later 706 291 ci or a combine 301 ci might be worth looking for. Also a truck engine is mentioned but I didn't find a number. I don't really need any more HP than the 263 but if something compatable turns up I'd consider it. Any help making a list of compatable engines would be appreciated.
Another thought and this one is for Vet I might as well make any upgrades to the engine to better tolerate today's gas and oils. I've read your posts in length and am in the same boat with lots of others, I'd like to chat with you about any options I have so long as I am rebuilding. Email is open.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
