Ya could bolt up a 160 series II D15 engine to her. Be even cooler to have a WBC like the prototype in Norm's book with a 226 in it instead of the 201.

Charlie, you wouldn't have a way of posting a picture of that, if there is one, would you? ------------- 1937 WC, 1950 CA, 1959 D14, 1967 190XT, 2006 Ram 3500 |

How much more power are you looking for? If you are pulling in a stock oriented class with original size un-cut tires a good running stock C can hold it's own. I've won many 3,000 lb. class pulls with nothing more exotic than a CA governor spring and proper weighting. BTW the CA spring is good for about 150 rpms that works out to 10% over that our local rules allow. Good Luck! Kip ------------- HANSEN'S OLD ORANGE IRON. Showing, Pulling, & Going!! |

From what you said about the rules about all your going to be able to do is to put in an over bore kit and mill the head. 18 horse is a little low for the C to start with.
Take a trip thru these pictures for some ideas. I would be glad to help. You can more that double the HP in the C but it takes money. http://public.fotki.com/DickL/allis_chalmers_engi/ - http://public.fotki.com/DickL/allis_chalmers_engi/

There is a picture in Norm's book of the WBC prototype but i can't find my book right now. My desk has been displaced and everything has been a mess for the last week or so. I think a young fellow wanting to learn can do a lot of good for himself by looking at Dick's pictures and talking to him. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| Dick, I've always wondered how much compression increase one could get from milling the head. I mean almost 1/2 of it is flat anyway. just curious, do you have any specs. as to how many thou. would produce what comp. ratio change? |

| No! I don't have any specs but when you remove even a small amout of space of an already small space it makes a difference. |
