Ford 8N V8 302 conversion

[@lilibethdoherty295]

Ford 300 straight six is the king of motors for your tractor and will last forever!

[@marvinblankinchip2535]

Really nice job. I love the Bluegrass music but, that was really nice of you turn it off so we could hear that lumpy little engine. Now you and the boy go and have some fun.

[@jamesr.riverasr.4678]

Henry Ford would be happy seeing his products together

[@RonI-qz2tz]

That is just way cool. Love the 9N and I have seen them with the old Funk Conversion with 6cyl and Flathead V8's but never a OHV motor. Love it

[@MrBarrymundy]

Thanks

[@jeffring1222]

Sounds great,nice cam lope.

[@elkmeadowstudios8150]

How did you line up the motor and transmission

[@jeffcauley5440]

Any pics of the adapter and info on how u coupled the motor to trans like did u use ford presser plate and flywheel with tractor cluch disk or what

[@MrBarrymundy]

Ford 302 flywheel.8N pressure plate and clutch.Redrill Ford 302 flywheel for 8n pressure plate

[@wellendowedstudios]

"I love this, did you use a late 60's 302 flywheel and bolt on the 8N pressure plate and 9" clutch? I'm wanting to do this to my 2N, From looking at parts the late 60's flywheels look like they would be a direct bolt on for the Tractors clutch setup... ? I think they use the same 9" clutch etc? If you know please let me know. Thanks

[@MrBarrymundy]

Used a Flywheel off a 1977 Ford F100 302 . Have to redrill the hole pattern from the 8n pressure plate to the Flywheel. I guess any 60's-70's Flywheel would work. Used what I had laying around

[@johnpagliuso7552]

I have an old farmall i always wanted to do this to. But i am no machinist I can torch weld and turn a wrench but building an adapter is out of my league.

[@kurtvara4918]

Can I ask how thick the spacer is between the motor and the trans axle??? Thanks. I have a 4 cylinder flathead in mine right now which is a 1947 8N but want to put in a 302.

[@MrBarrymundy]

That spacer is 1 1/2inch thick.

[@kurtvara4918]

@@MrBarrymundy Thank you.

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

Would you say a 460 would go in about the same as far as clutch setup and the rest

[@MrBarrymundy]

I don't know what the distance is from the back of the 460 block to the flywheel. You would have to do some measuring and figuring to come up with the thickness of what the adapter would have to be. I don't know what the diameter of the 460 flywheel is either. So I can't tell you if this will work or not

[@jimmypopp2695]

That is about the coolest restomod I have seen with the Ford Tractor. Great job!! was that very complicated to make the adapter plate?

[@MrBarrymundy]

yes

[@jimmypopp2695]

@@MrBarrymundy thought so.

[@MrBarrymundy]

@@jimmypopp2695 Had to build that adapter out of 4 pc of alum plate because I didn;t have any plate thick enough to build it.I build most my stuff from junk I have collected over the years.Takes me longer to figure things out than it does to build it some times. Wished I had made a drawing.but did not.The engine on that tractor came from the first car i ever owned.I still have that car.Anyway I wanted to correct the short answer I gave you.Thanks for the comment.Glad you like my Tractor

[@jimmypopp2695]

@@MrBarrymundy Thank you for the more detailed answer. I have an Oliver 550 and watching you build the Ford made me rethink adapting a v6 or v8. I only have a 1920's lathe and not a nice big one at that nor a milling machine so it is probably out of my league for now. thanks again.

[@dannylopezgonzalez8254]

MrBarrymundy I have a ford 801 tractor and a ford 302 engine. Could you advise me to adapt it just like yours?🙏🏻

[@IntoTheDirtshop]

If you were to swap in a V8 like this for a similar tractor that was a backhoe, do you know any engines that would run at a lower rpm similar to a tractor engine?

[@MrBarrymundy]

Sorry.I don't

[@matthewlee2686]

man that's so awesome. wish I had one. you have and extra adapter plates laying around?

[@johnbailey3120]

Hey. I would like to get one of the adapter kits that you made For a 302 engine. Any help would be appreciated.

[@MrBarrymundy]

That is the only adapter that I made for the 8N tractor. It was a figure it out as you go deal and I made no drawing.I think Awesome Henry or someone like that offered a 302 adapter at one time but last time I looked they didn't offer it anymore.Anyway if you attempt to make one, make everything from the crankshaft center-line and the transmission imput shaft center-line .

[@traviskitson2061]

Do you still have this tractor and how well do it run after all this time

[@MrBarrymundy]

Still got it. This was my Dads Tractor (but did not have this V8 conversion) so I will always have it Only fire it up a couple of times a year for the local Tractor Show. Still runs the same.

[@hollissmith5467]

Hi do u have drawing of addapter plate.

[@MrBarrymundy]

No.I made no drawings'

[@MrStarlin51]

How did you mount the semi wheels 22.5or24.5

[@MrBarrymundy]

22.5. I machined a metal disc to fit in the center of the semi wheels,drilled the tractor wheel pattern in them.Welded them into semi wheels

[@nicktreib747]

I think you should sell your adapter and subframe kits

[@josephdickerson5802]

There isn't a subframe you idiot the engine is the frame the parts you are referring to as a subframe is the radius arms and drag links how stupid are you ?

[@bicepsca]

great job, how much did it cost to rebuild?

[@MrBarrymundy]

maybe $250. i made everything myself

[@sgtbigtoe7640]

Tilt hood great idea👍

[@PecanRanch]

thanks to this video, I'm now dating my cousin.

[@MrBarrymundy]

Don't forget if you marry her and then get divorce ,you and her will still be cousins

[@pascalbreizh4070]

Trop bien 👍👍

[@ljohnson820]

Just a series of pictures with no explanation. Why music when you could have voiceover commentary?

[@victorriceroni8455]

Sweet.

[@brucerogermorgan2388]

Nice job, and it looks good, but for the love of Mike go and put some manifolds and an exhaust system on it! Sounds horrible!

[@kitcarson6806]

Bruce Roger Morgan It's a hot rod, not a grocery getter. Sounds perfect

[@tochancraze1614]

hey it this engine avilabe for me

[@sirensofnewjerseyissimplyt429]

You play 2 songs at once

[@jerryswope1797]

Be much better if you explained what and how you are doing this . Music doesn't tell me anything . I came here to learn

[@Coffeebreak6329]

You know the video is garbage when there's a motor change in 3:53 with sickning twang music.

[@kwalsemann3919]

So ridiculoues

[@douglassteiskal9097]

Get rid of the music

[@tomhutchins1046]

Engine noise but the pulleys are not turning and no exhaust FAKE

[@mikenobbe1135]

look close they are turning lol

[@BlackLocustPatriot]

You can see the belt vibrating at 3:16 onward. This can only be due to the pulley spinning.
