The Raymond Ranch | Hi all, I'm new to posting here, but Ive been reading posts for quite awhile. I thought I'd show you my latest project that I've been working on for almost a year now. I bought a 1936 F 20 to restore, but the engine was pretty far gone, so I had the crazy idea to put a V8 in it as I have seen countless F 20/V8 combinations at tractor pulls. The engine is a 1967 283 with a saginaw 3 speed bolted on it.
the condition I bought it in:
stretched the frame 16"
Made the hood longer and start of pods for water and oil gauges
The part that makes it all happen; a flange welded onto a yoke that slips into the saginaw tranny
I made a mounting box for my ignition panel out of a recipe box
Engine rebuilt and put in for the last time
As of today I have to redo a little bit of the wiring and buy radiator hose and antifreeze, and then it'll be ready to start for the first time. | |
