I have no idea what waukesha you are talking about, assuming the 310. I'm pretty sure we're talking about this potential class. If that's the case, a 540 cubic inch 310 turbo diesel waukesha with a P pump and a big charger is the craziest thing i've ever heard of. That cubic inch takes alot of grinding and a 2" rod journal on a non turboed gas 2500 rpm engine. The first time

I'm not against the gas idea at all, but you say those engines don't have a good head. With gas you are putting fuel in the port. That means less room for air. because of detonation issues you can not run as much boost as diesel. So with a gas engine you are making the airflow problem worse. A Herc head is not at all a bad head. A 585 moline head is crossflow and has suprisingly good

Any limit as far as P3000, P7100, P8600, P8700, P9000? You can get up to 17mm. P3000 and P7100 are pretty limited to 14mm.

It's also too big. 400 CID and no decubing would be enough.

While I agree the alcohol thing would be alot of fun and i would have to have one, the fact is that modern tecnology NON turbo ricerocket gas engines would spank a turbo diesel at the same cubic inch. I laugh ricerockets just like most of us, but they've got better cylinder heads than 99% of the billet cylinder heads in the tractor pulling world, with V8 mods being the possible exception.

Should be very easy to get 600. They do not have sleeves, pistons run right in the block. I need to get this one the rest of the way apart and get a estimate on wall thickness. probably 4.5-4.625 max bore. Are you running open rpm?

Got the head off one right now. Not too sure about getting it in a 88 frame. The bolt patten is about 3 inches longer and 1 1/2 wider. the head sucks just as bad as a 88 head, just bigger. I can just about hide in the combustion chamber, has 2.060 and 1.800 valves. 7 main block, if the model number has a B on the end of it they have a 6 counterweight crank. 3' rod journals and 3.250 mains,

Long term and short term alcohol is going to be cheaper than trying to go bigger on diesel. I like diesel a awful lot too, but the alcohol fuel system is going to be alot cheaper and alot cheaper to maintain. the shortblock will be alot cheaper and live longer on alcohol. As far as going bigger, 4.25 bore and 5.375 stroke would get you where you want to be but boring the "cast in" sleeve out of

Tracey is the one and only owner of the Headgames tractor. He engineered and built every inch of that tractor himself. I've been there since it was something we talked about to what it is now. If you find someone to build a high quality steel herc block for 15 grand let me know. I'll take 10.

By allowing something you are basically requring it to be competitive. If you allow billet heads you're gonna have to have one to be somebody. If you allow sigma's or 2 plungers per cylinders or billet pumps you're gonna have to have one. Then you'll have to have billet injectors. Then you're gonna be able to make use of a big dollar charger so you're gonna have to

Not when they were new. only if they're wore past .040 over or had major cylinder wall damage.

That's pretty much how the tool is made. they are hardened. after doing about 5 blocks it's still time for a new tool. i think the tool was about $80. not worth trying to make for that. find a big mill or jig borer to do this in. it's not somethiing to do by hand. Summit sells a tool from comp cams. never tried that setup though.

the tie bar is a piece of round dowel rod. buy a piece of ground drill rod and you could do 2 lifter bores 35 inches apart.

I've done several waukesha blocks using reamers. use a few different sizes and do it in several steps depending on how much you need to take out. they make reamers in .001 increments. as for the grooves, we were using .842 lifters and crower makes a jig that drops in 2 lifter bores and has a tie bar to keep it indexed. then run a 3/16 drill bit down through it and it cuts a groove in the lif

I figured up one time and there's at least a dozen different manufacturers that are 540 cid or less. 90% were between 450 and 505. the 640-680 limit is just plain anal. massey has a 540 v8, oliver has a 574 v8. throw a 1145 crank in it and you have 522. as far as the 619 deere's go, if it's a 8000 lb class where engine has to somewhat match rear end, they're out anyhow.
