[AT] Part time trailer puller fuel system

[charlie hill]

There are some companies out there that will fab up custom wire harnesses to 
put about any modern engine in about any old car or hotrod.  The street rod 
bunch use them all the time.  A C5 Corvette engine and powertrain in a 55 
Ford pickup for example.  It just takes a lot of money and knowing Farmer 
that ain't in his game plan.

Personally I'd like to fuel inject and computerize the engine on one of my 
Allis tractors.  I know it can be done.  I just don't know if I can do it 
but I sure would like to see how it would run.
