Hercules engine

[137 farm]

I am looking for a block for a Hercules model L engine, bore & stroke are 4.5 & 5.75, this was originally used in a truck from the mid-1920's. I would look at a complete engine to replace this one, a Continental Red Seal or large 4 cylinder Wisconsin engine should be an acceptable exchange. Just thought you guys may know of one or something comparable. It is a 4 cylinder in-line engine.

I know where there is a Red Seal engine that has sat for a lot of years inside of a shed. I had it running once but it did need carb attention. I dont know much about it but it came off of a paving machine years ago.

If my calculations are correct, that would be a 365.6 cubic inch engine. That is rather large for a 4 cylinder. The closest I can think of would be the 350 cu. in. engine that International used in the Super W-9, 600 and 650. Case put a 403 cu. in. in the LA and Oliver had a 445 4 cylinder kerosene engine in the model 90 tractor and gasoline in the 99 tractor. The Massey Harris 55 and 555 used a Continental J382 & JD382 engine. I don't know if any of these engines were available as power units. Do you have room for a 6 cylinder?

minnie mo built four cylinder engines in 283, 331, and 403 displacements. Maybe one of them would fit.

Wear are you/the engine located and does it have a clutch?
