Can anyone tell me the differance between the gleaner e combine engine and the allis wd45 engine. I know that the crank main journals are different sizes. I was told that the gleaner has more hp.

the minimum hp as a d17 but depending on the engine code it could be as high as a 175 series tractor
 
So with the right compression ratio, cam and carb a wd45 could be as powerful? The reason I'm asking is because I have a wd45 engine, but can aslo get my hands on a gleaner. Just wondering what's better to build?
 
This is a question I posed a month or so ago. They were all 226 displacement. In my non engine building mind that means you should be able to get 175 (or Gleaner E) power out of a WD45 with not much work. I think they did it with RPM increases and comp ratio along with bigger carbs to feed the cfm's. I think the reason why pullers drop in the Gleaner engine is they are lazy. Are there any clubs or div that require a stock or stock appearing block?

It will cost you as much or more to do a 45 engine up to what you would have with a z engine code gleanor. But I believe the smaller bearing journal engine would make a pony or two more if done the exact same due less bearing friction.
 
a gleaner engine does have a bigger oil pump which would require more power to turn if you are realy trying to find a difference in the 2 i had a m and a z series engines apart at same time and pistons arre slightly i mean slightly different
 
60 some pto hp isn't too hard with some 4 1/8 pistons, cam, carb/intake work ect. on a 226, tractors were rated at the pto whereas combine engines were usually rated at the flywheel and the E ran more rpm's than a wd45
 
(quoted from post at 19:42:35 09/12/11) less bearing friction come on that is a good one only you could think of that
In the racing world bearing size is reducing to keep bearing speed down and free up some ponies.
 
I measured the cams from a z code E motor and compared them to a cam out of a 37 wc and intake and exhaust had the exact same lift. The gears are different you can put the bigger oilpump in if u use the camgear that matches it.

remember there are more involved in a cam than just lift but the z code should have had a cam like the 175 with a lift of 312 on the cam. I like the d17 series 1 oil pump it has the long oil seperate pickup screen and no enternal bypass like the 45 pump.
