[AT] Juicin it Up

[Easley, Greg]

I'd heard rumors about guys running oil in place of water/anti-freeze,
but never actually run across anyone who'd done it.  I can see that it
would solve a lot of the problems that are encountered with a big
engine.

I've been working the numbers for a 400+ cid combination out of the
small
block Moline engine for a future project.  I don't think the
differential
carrier in the R would hold up with that much in front of it.  Need to
find a fencerow 335 before I start on something like that.

I hope poor ol' Rog don't have a heart attack reading about all this
tractor abuse ;-)

    Actually, the coolant used is hydraulic oil. Higher temperatures are
possible and any leaks are burned through the engine without any
concerns.
    The bore and stroke sounds about right. The center webs were
completely removed and the sleeves were siamesed so they all come out as
one assembly. The heads are propane heads and estimated compression
ratio is about 12.5 to one. Racing gasoline or 100 octane aviation fuel
is required.
