Holy Moley!
I'd be interested in knowing the technical details of that. Cooling and trans especially.
I'd build one in a heartbeat if it wasn't for pesky things like a wife, local cops and common sense...

the only thing MF about that is the hood decals....and nothing was 'swapped'.
I never claimed this to be an engine swap nor did I have anything to do with the article linked above.
I will be posting a slideshow (on Youtube) of the build process when I get a chance to put one together.
Thanks

I'm guessing your the builder. No one is saying anything bad really. From what they see it don't look fully like a massey. I only saw maybe 10sec of the video. On this forum allot of times we will post stuff like that asking what people think

I never knocked it, just that the title of the link was very misleading. I expected to see someone, nearly impossibly, put a v8 into an actual MF tractor.
I admire the work, craftsmanship, imagination. It's nice design, and it would scare the crap out of me to drive it.

I am the OP. I just saw it online and thought it worthy of sharing. I just pasted the link, I didn't title the article or anything, just thought it was pretty awesome...
No problem guys. I just wanted to make sure you knew I had nothing to do with the article.
I tried to keep it looking as much like a stock tractor as I could and it ended up 14" longer than stock. All the original frame and body is still there except for a section of frame from bell housing to front of engine.
Thanks and keep an eye out for my build slideshow.
