B-C block

NO: B/C sleeves have the O-ring on the sleeve, D10/12 have the O-ring in the block. I'm in MD, PM me for more help

Here's a video that will give you an idea of what you can do with a B/C/CA block and head. This is PaulB's non-turbo CA at an invitational pull in Frederick, MD this fall. Pay attention to the amount of walking the flagger does to get an idea of where other tractors in the class were stopping.

Paul if I read that right, 3500rpm? What type of flywheel are you using? Is this using NATPA rules or USAP ? I like the sdound of that lil rascal snortin!!

My current flywheels are OEM Allis Chalmers. Think about it; Most any standard shift cars will have the same grey iron flywheel. Nearly most any muscle care form the 60s into the 70s would go to in around 5500 RPM and some more from the factory.  It is not so much the speed  (unless your going super high RPMs) as it is abuse that causes flywheels to disintegrate. A flywheel with stress cracks would make me nervous and any speed. If you have one magnafluxed and don't overheat it, I'm comfortable at anything under 4K RPM. Also most AC flywheels I've used are balanced better than ones from other colors. This along with a CA flywheel not being all that large or heavy, unlike the ones W_ tractors use. I do have a Blow-Blanket around the flywheel of the CA with the Turbo, not because I'm afraid of it but just as a precaution as I do turn it faster than the one without the turbo. There are no NATPA or USPA pulls anywhere that I know of that have 2500 & 3000 pound classes that will let me run fast MPH and a turbo. Like my tag line say's "If it was fun to pull in LOW gear I could have a John Deere". 

160 ci of fun!

Actually that tractor has a CE block that is much more than 160CID, I have done about everything that can be without sacrificing reliability.  That engine has more than 15 years of pulling and the only problems I've had were fuel delivery ones.  The tires are 18.4X16.1 from a friends 2WD pulltruck. They have both the tops and fronts cut as where I pull anything goes as far as cutting on tires. I like 13.6X28 tires for the turbo CA. I need to find a good matched set, I'd prefer old style 45 degree tread. Both tractors will run 3rd gear at 2500 and 2nd at 3000 on any track I ever pulled on. The sled in the video is about the hardest pulling sled I've hooked to.

Can you post a picture of your hitch and wheelie bar setup? Curious on how you did it. I didn't build my hitch... It's not bad but always room for improvement.

I pulled my CA once that heavy and it moaned and groaned but had the power (Stock). I thought it was going to snap!

I used some bolts and a plate to raise my drawbar up some on my pin-hitch CA and now it is not stock...., blah... My 12.4x24's are too big also. By golly they only came with 10-24's back in the day I hear.
