[AT] Juicin it Up

[Easley, Greg]

135hp is easy to get out of a MM 283 crankcase.  80-100 is attainable
just by dropping in
a 403 crankshaft and putting on a set of decent heads.  There are
antique pullers out there
with close to 700cid on top of the 283 case.  The LA Case crankcase has
been built to 1100cid.
Takes lots of $$$ to get that big...

Edsel sold his UB a year ago. Brother Gary's neighbor, John Cronkilton
owns it now. Haven't heard how he finished, but last I heard he was
doing real well with it. I think edsel estimated the power at about 135
horsepower. Not bad for a stock block 40 horsepower tractor.
