Yea you could do a 706 or 56 as it has been done before BUT it is not going to be a bolt in deal and the machine shop bill plus the engine would buy you a good 1086 before you were done with it .And from what i have seen of the V 8 gas tractors that have been done some are well thought out jobs and others they were a hand grenade with the pin ready to fall out . As for putting one to work today in the field sure hope you can afford the gas. As the one 706 that was done had a 549 I H gasser in it and it would suck down just shy of 12 gallon and hour working. Now it was i nice job but it did not last long and threw a rod out the side and it was changed back to stock . Many years ago my uncle had a Oil All Over 88 with a 390 Ford with a 4 BBL. now it would pull 4 bottoms BUT you spent a lot of time running back to the fuel pump and this was when gas was 15.9 cents a gallon . As for me i will stick with what they come from the factory with just don't get my jolly's off on make work anymore.

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.
