8n and ford flatehead v8

[Dennis Wilson]

hello from eldorado ohio, have 2 8ns and just came across a ford truck in the weeds with what looks like a complete flatehead motor in it. have pass this for years thought it was just a cab . they just cut the back half off to make trailer. how much trouble would it be rebuilding this for one of the 8ns ?....... going to portland this week for the power show might look around. thanks

Some fellows used to do that. There was kit for the conversion too.

Egon's right there was a kit to bolt in a flathead Ford to the tractor,they were common years ago so it may be easy to find:thumbsupave

Dennis, go to ntractorclub.com. It is THE place for N series tractor info. I recall several links concerning just such a project,including some with modern v-8s.
