Mini-rod tractors are limited to 8' wheelbase, classes are usually 1,800 lb. ready to hook with driver. The bore was only honed out to 4.125" from original 4.121" to fit some blower pistons I already had, stroke was stock 3.75"- so I wound up with a Pontiac 401 c.i.

Taff- I had scrounged a junkyard block- I didn't know one 400 block from another. Perhaps it's a 1969? It's just 2-bolt mains, but main bearings still look new.
