Higher compression. Re-ground camshaft. Port and manifold matching. Blend and smooth casting flash and sharp edges from the inside of the ports. A professional 5 angle valve job by a race engine shop, not a valve job by Bubba . Dry air cleaner element . Propane intake and exhaust manifolds.
Will make an easy 75HP at pto rpm.

Maybe onto something? The gas and diesel used the same 6-3/8 inch stroke. The diesel bore is 125 thou larger at 6-1/8".
Must have required some high octane fuel, couldn't even guess the compression ratio.
720AF 4.9 to 1, 720gas 6.14 to 1 and 720LP 7.94 to 1.
Even the LP pistons are an 29% ratio increase over the gas.

Lee, as far as I know it's the same as a G/70 as far as how much you CAN stroke it.

Stroke + journal = 13.375" I'm sure someone has gone bigger, that's worked for me.
