Well... it would be pretty easy with a set of original instructions once you were able to modify a bell housing (think machining & welding if you have the correct bell housing to get close) and a flywheel. The original package consisted of a model 2055 engine with special bell housing and flywheel. You used the ring gear from your stock flywheel and put it on the one supplied by GM. The rest was fabrication and installation.

You will also need a 2-71 with a variable speed governor.

The digital copies of poor photostats on my website (jarootfarms.com) list the parts list and part numbers etc...

The little GM sounds NOTHING like a 2 lung Deere... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGls7UOiCP0

If you go to http://www.jarootfarms.com/gallery there is a folder with all of the photos I took while going through my GM powered M. Unfortunately I didn't split it at the engine and therefore there are no good photographs of the bell housing or flywheel, the two important components of the formula..

I also have GM Engineering Service Bulletin instructions for a Case LA and a Farmall F20 or F30 (forget which one). The F series uses a 2-71 also but you don't need a special bell housing I don't believe. I'll see if I can get some time to digitize them and upload them to my website later this week or weekend.

With any luck I hopefully will have my M @ Lima for the 2013 RPRU next June...
