    Posted: 07 Dec 2015 at 3:15pm
I recently have the idea of repowering a WC with some sort of oddball powerplant. Have any of you seen or done a repower on a W-series tractor? If so, please share some pictures and knowledge. I am interested in seeing anything from 2 stroke Detroits to I-6 and V8 engines.
Thanks,
Randy

I have seen WD45's repowered with the gas straight six equivalent of the WD45 diesel engine; think they said they came in combines. Wonder if one would fit in a WC?

I spoke with a guy at our local show whose neighbor allegedly put a 433T in a WD, I've been intrigued ever since but haven't heard of anyone else doing it. Would think it would be a nice fit size wise but a fair amount of fabrication.

A WC at an auction a couple years ago had a V6 Buick engine.  Did a real nice job and it even had new rear tires.  Went for $500!

I've seen one of those engines in person. Neat and definitely oddball, but I'm looking for a little more power and noise!

I think the one at Hutch was a Chevy motor. (Not positive).
Shameless, yeah those plugs would be easy to get to. But I think they used at least a couple shoe horns to get that motor in there. LOL

I have a Mercruizer Marine 4 cylinder engine & Powerglide to put in my unstyled WC one of these days. Rated at 140HP, should move that along wit' no problem. Plans are to work on that when I retire in a couple of years. Been collecting parts for that project...
