as i see it (10 your tryen to make more pony power then the bottom end will hold (2) no waste gate (3) tryen to push compressed air thru the carb . (4) no means of retarding ing. timing . All above not good. Way back many moons ago we did a lot of playen with installing hair dryers on gas engines , and the best of them was a wild built oliver 1650 gasser that was built just to pull . Well we did all we could do with a carb . Then one day while we were drinking things over ( vary bad when i am drinking and thinking and building and engine ) We had this brain fart that OH why don't we add a hair dryer and add a Holley 735 CFM carb off a 428 S/CJ Ford but lets run this on AL KI HOL We have the knowledge we have the pieces and parts to make this work. YEP we did and yes it did make it go BUT we started making lots of SPARE parts. First to go was the head as she almost set the head into orbit as it stretched the head bolts a 1/2 inch. OK we can put in heavier head studs. DID that , next run out she held the head BUT put the crank on the ground thru the oil pan with Flywheel still on . Ok so build a girdle that will hold the crank in , then lifted the head , tis time when the head came off it really came off . Need bigger head studs . Then she leaned out one hot night and the carb and turbo blew off it and when it let go pieces and parts flew hundreds of feet and there was a huge fire ball. Maybe IF they had a waiste gate set for maybe 4-7 LBS of boost it may work and IF the ing. timing was layed back . Now here i do not know what the timing curve is on this tractor and could be anywhere between 26 degrees to 40 degrees , don't have any idea on what pistons are being used or what head . Way to many variables here . But hay Keystone Turbo got there money . A good friend of mine was showing me that set up one time and asked me what i thought . Flat up and told him that that was not going to work . and if it did it would not last vary long . Now don't get me wrong here that i do not like Horse power , For the last fifty years i have built engines with more horse power , Never met a farmer that told me that his tractor had to much horse power or a drag racer that said oh yea i got to much . The secret is building and engine that will live at the max . Ya need a bottom end that will take it then ya need a head that will stay put , pistons that will not break or melt and rods that do not bend and snap off and make nice inspection hole in the side of the block. Then ya need to know just how high you can twist them . Build it wright the first time and it will live if not get the push broom out and the floor dry .

Today's Featured Article - Pitfalls of Tractor Engine Rebuilds - by Chris Pratt. The first pop after you have put the machine together with your own hands is exciting and pleasing. The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
