Perkins 354 questions... August 24, 2022 05:26AM
Looking to build an 8mph 4500-5500lb tractor with a 354.4 in a Massey Harris 744 chassis. Does anyone know the overall dimensions of a 354? Length, Width, Height? Pretty sure I can squeeze one in, but would like to mock it up before I start buying parts.
As for the performance side. I'm thinking 250HP would be enough to go 8mph at that weight. Any other opinions are welcome. Is my goal too low or too high?

What can be done to a 354T to get it to 250HP at 2800RPM? I've heard rumors of Mack truck injectors, but have no idea what application. Obviously a bigger Roosamaster would be in order. Probably a bigger turbo as well...

Obviously, I'm still in the planning stages, but I really don't want to build another 5.9 swapped machine.
