How much power can a Ford 7000 make?

Curious on how much power people have made with a 7000?
We have a class that is 410 max cubes, 2.25 turbo. No RPM limit. stock appearing pumps. Would it compete against a 4020 or a 856? Thanks! |

Done right....856 and 4020 will be a gear behind you |

7000 only has a 256ci 4 cly. engine...tall order to compete against the 6 cly. tractors? the right shop can get a lot of fuel out of those sims pumps. are you allowed to slip in a 401.? would bolt right up to the bell housing. |

The class is currently limited to having rotary pumps (no inline pumps allowed). To get more color/manufacturers into the class, the class members are currently considering allowing 4 cylinder Fords with the Simms inline pump, but not 6 cylinders. The 6.6 liter 401cu would not be allowed as it has an inline pump and the larger cubes.

I don’t have any HP numbers but if you search Stick Boy Pulling Team on Facebook, or on YouTube, you’ll find a lot of videos of a 4cyl Ford. You’ll have to scroll a bit on Facebook back when it had 5000 sheet metal on it. That’s a good example of a single 3x3 charger at 304 cubes with a Bosch P-pump. Although it ran really good, it was competitive with the 4020s, but not really “ahead” of them. The class you’re referring to only allowing a sims pump and 2.25 charger may be a good start but from my experience with the little 5000 it likely won’t be enough. |

What is the weight of class? And if its 410 cube why not build a 8000 series. The right person could bore and stroke a 304 and get close to that cube limit and you would be hard to handle with a wimer built pump. |

Class pulls at 9500lbs. Basic rules are 410 cubic inch maximum. 2.25 inch max inlet T04 turbo. Wheelie bars and wide front. Transmission and rear end must match brand & engine. No inline pumps! (As I stated before the class members are considering allowing 4 cylinder Fords, and only 4 cylinder models, with the Sims inline pump to allow more manufacturers into the class). |

If the rules state rotary only i think i would opt. For a model 100 off an IH. |

Why no in line pumps most of the fords came with a inline pump. does someone just want a rotary pump class. |

Yes, the class is meant to be a cheaper alternative to the local "Hot Farm" classes. Staying away from inline pumps keeps the horsepower, and thus cost, down. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/29/2017 06:48PM by CeplechaFarms. |

I’m guessing that you already have a Ford 7000 that you’re looking to build for this class; but just in case you don’t, and you want to add color and be sure to compete, check out a late model New Holland with the 6.7L Iveco engine, which already has a rotary pump, at 411 cubes (assuming this would be allowed as most places give 1%). Not many of them out there pulling but seems like a better option than what you’re looking at today. Being a Blue guy myself, i understand the frustration with green and red saying “yeah we’ll let you in, but with these other rules too, and two less cylinders”. |

Whatcha need is to get ahold of is an Oliver Waukesha either a 283 or a 310 turbo charge it put some big injectors in and a big rotary pump they are awesome! when built like that they are damn near unstopable! |

I didnt mean to start a big fued here, I guess we were misunderstood... We did not mean that only 4 cylinder Ford's could run with us. We were just suggesting that to give the guys that wanted to run Fords more options this was a possible idea to allow more models an opportunity to pull. The 6 cylinder models could still run with us if they had a rotary pump. |

If your weight is 9500.... use a 8000. Or a 5000 with a 401 using 7810 sheet metal. But the Genesis head on top...wimer pump and she will come to life. You will be ahead of those 4020's and 856's. |
