Happy New Years
LT:
Finally went for a ride today. Took a couple of newbies for a tour around the city. I have a Ford 302 in my wide gauge, but seems to be lacking power. I think my pvc is plugged as seems to be spitting a little oil. Has anyone installed a new style fule injected engine in a wide gauge yet? Or any suggestions for which engine would be better.

The old man originally switched to a 302 and had same problems. Changed up to a 351 windsor 2 barrel carb. Plenty of power and it's the same block. Just make sure the rad is as big as possible and nice and clean. Works real good with a c-4 tranny too.

Happy New Year Larry,
Great looking machine you have there. I get a few guys at my shop saying "Larry in Yorkton got one'. Your fairly well known. That's a good thing when selling farm equipment. I think the metals would have really bad performance with the original 251- 6 banger. I have the 318 2v in mine and find that it needs more when braking a fresh trail across a field. I think I may look for a intake and 4v carb for it next summer. Maybe a cam also.

Hi....so where is your shop Dpaulson? Ya..just changed fule filters in it and pvc. Seems to be working a bit better. I changed it up to an electronic ignition last year as I was tired of points! Need to change plug wires.
And your 318 you say needs a bit more power when braking trail. Thats what I am finding. I think it is simply a weight issue. Drove accross the scales yesterday and it weighs in at 2150 kgs...

My shop is 3/4 m south of Wadena on Hwy 35.
