I was just wondering how or what you have done to get more out of the little motor. I know the popular thing is to save up for a deisel, but i'm from the hot rod world and that is kind of the last resort. Why can't you get the same power out of a modified gas motor. Have you ported the head? Is there a cam swap from a passenger car to be done? It does not have to be spun to the moon to get more torque to go up hills. I know it's a "tractor" and am not thinking about top speed, more of wheeling speed. If I have to rack up a few thousand bucks to swap to a deisel, why not just go whole hog and fab in one of the smallblock chevy's in my garage. By then I won't care that I have to make a new cab anyway (It's already cost this much Why Not!). I am just wondering what has been done by others like cams headers temp coatings... thanks to all who reply [:D]
