I have played this game before . Yea ya can do a lot with a M , BUT the money involved is gotten out of hand . It can be done on the cheap side BUT not with a Farmall The best yo can do on the cheaper side is by going with a S/M block and put a set of High alt. pistons and a 450 head not the LP head Put bigger valves have the cam reground a 450 manifold a little carb work and gov. work a little dist recurve and ya might make 100 Hp. after that your talking a deeper check book.
