I guess i am getting lazy as i would rather rebuild the 407 then go thru all the work of a swap. swapping out a engine in a Oil All Over is a piece of cake doing a swap on a Farm all takes a lot more fabbing and machine work . Last spring my one buddy and i did a swap on a 2150 as the herc. that was in it sucked a sleeve and trashed the block , could we fix it yea we could have but i do not have the one special tool for working on a herc. After a month of trying to find the tool with no luck we talked about ti a little and Vernon wanted to just dump a 5.9 in it and i said WHY lets put and 8.3 in it . So he and i went on the scrounging run to find and engine . we found just what we were looking for with the correct pump and bell housing . So all we needed was a starter for the NEW flywheel move the fan hub up to the next location and make a modification to the oil pan to clear the ft. drive shaft, make four motor mounts and hook the hoses and wires up and it was a done deal. Gave three grand for the engine a grand for the new flywheel and about forty bucks for some steel to make the motor mounts and mods to the pan and it is in there .Now he has a 210 HP ft wheel assist tractor with only a total of 65oo total including the price of the tractor. olivers are a lot easier . Plus that 407 If done wright will live a long time . The biggest thing about doing the 361 and 407 is making sure that you check everything and hand fit the pistons to each sleeve and make sure that you do not wrinkle the sleeves when pressed in. Ya don't beat the sleeve in . One guy that lives around here did not want to pay me to rebuild his 806 because i charged tomuch well after blowing up five engines and the longest lasting one when fifty hours He finally gave in and had me build the long block and he installed it in the tractor , then had me make a service call to install the pump correctly as here again he did not know what he was doing .
