[AT] Massey Harris 44-6 engine swap

[Allen V. Pruehs]

Ed, your frirnd may be able to swap a 330 Continental flat head six 
cylinder in. Its a bit bigger (sorry I don't have my Continental manual 
handy) than the 226. This engine was used in the MH 203 tractors. I have 
heard of this swap being done by several different people but never 
seriously looked into it. I have also heard of swapping in a 265 flat head 
Chrysler industrial engine. The most interesting suggestion so far is the 
straight eight. That would have a unique sound.
