This is the engine for a 2950 or 2955, right? It looks very similar to our 2750, just with the two extra cylinders.

Were you able to merely flip the exhaust manifold over, or did you do a bit of re-drilling?

How much does this thing weigh compared to a cummins?

What pump do you have on it? It looks like a stanadyne. I thought those would have come with a roto-diesel.

That engine was something like 95 hp in a tractor. Can you get 200-ish hp out of the thing?
