The short answer is: Yes, it can be done. However there are many differences that make it more practical to just send your BE/CE crank to have it stroked. I've been increasing the power output of the BE/CE blocks since the early 80s and have more experience pulling a little tractors than probably any other person still living. I thought it would be an easy way to stroke a BE/CE just buy using a 138/149/160 crank and grinding the mains down to fit. First off the BE/CE spray oils the rod bearings and the 138/149/160 use pressure oiling to the rods and when you grind the mains down oil holes will open up in unwanted places. The BE/CE has its thrust main at the front and the 138/149/160 has it at the rear. While you're getting the BE/CE crank stroked, tell them to weld in the seal groove at the front and rear of the crank and then you can use the small D rear seal which is a lip seal instead of a felt seal. The best part is, you can get the crank back to STD/STD and bearing will be easy to get. If your club isn't picky about having an original block just put on a Small D engine. There are a few minor things that don't quite bolt in, but nothing that can't be worked out. Email me if you run into any snags. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

Bolts right up to the bellhousing, use the C flywheel and clutch. At the front of the engine some of the later small D engines used 5/8" bolts and would need steep studs to bolt on the front steering bolster. Depending on if you use a D10/12 manifold or a D14/15 one to whether the exhaust and air cleaner will line up with the holes in the hood. The thermostat housing is different and you'll need to use a D10/12 top hose and do something else for a temperature gauge or make a fitting to allow use of a temperature gauge in the hood like I've done. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

The 138/149/160 engines all have the same basic bolt up dimensions as the BE/CE engines. If your only needing a little extra power I currently have a CE that will make about 30 and it could easily be bumped up near to 40. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

Explain the thrust brg swap ? The D10 crank has the thrust flange on the rear - the b/c/ca on the front ? ------------- When told "it's not the money,it's the principle", remember, it's always the money.. |

What's there to explain? Just as I said above the BE/CE engines have the thrust main at the front of the engine and the small D series engines have the thrust main at the rear of the engine, That's just the way they are built. Look in the different parts books or pull a couple oil pans off and look for yourself. The BE/CE engines and the Smallblock D series are completely different engines and few parts were carried over in the the later design. I can't explain to you it any better and I certainly can't understand it for you. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits.
