White 2-70
|
Would a white 2-70 make a good pulling tractor? This would be my first "super stock" project. It has a 283 diesel in it. Just wondering if the rear ends hold up, and how light you can get the tractor. I'm not sure if I would build the 283 or find a Cummins for it. Has anyone been there or done that before? |

Need more info

If you're thinking lite limited super then it would be best to start with a 5.9 but a 310 can run strong if built right. What fuel? What rules/club? |

Ct state tractor. It's a diesel. I can run a turbo and water injection. Pretty much to for rules |

How many horse is your tractor? How bad was it to drop a Cummins in it?
Thanks |

Brad would definitely be the guy to talk to about doing it with the factory tub. We built frame rails out of square tubing. Guessing we are somewhere between 4-700 depending on what setup we are running. (We usually run 3200rpm but have run open rpm classes also.) |

Brad has a 5.9 in his 1655 which would be a very similar frame to a 2-70. Will take a little grinder work but it will fit. We have our 1850 down to less than 7500 with a factory cast grill and cast frame still intact. We are making 4 digit power with the 5.9 and no rear end issues so far. Brad is an excellent recourse for a project like this and is always willing to help. |

Im thinking a 5.9 will bolt right in place. Ive got a 2-155 and a 8.3 fit right in no ajustments. |
