292 Combine motor is a GM engine. I presume you are looking for an Allis engine, in this case the 301 would be your only possibility for a gasser.

| There is a 190 for sale privately . It's 414 proven winner roller cam Aircraft carburetor all the best stuff. Think 18.4x38s. It pulled naturally aspirated modified stock class. 7000 or 7500 would sale just the motor I'm sure |

| 180 would be a great candidate for the class, build a 301 up. They can go well over 500 ci if you want to go that big. 415 gas would be a very reliable strong settup. Mesage me if you like , I've built them at 410, 450 and 526 |

Yes many Gleaner combines used a GM engine in later years. Getting it to fit in a 180 or 185 frame would take some creativity... ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

| Larry w thanks just looking and planning right now . thanks for the offer I will get in touch . my d 17 was just a little undersized for the 7000 lb class. actually didn't run out of power but way too much weight on it. over 2300 lbs |

Here's a thought if you can use a combine motor from a gleaner in a Ac tractor and say it's ok per your rules then put a 350 chevy in it and say it came off a m or l gas combine ------------- You can wash the dirt off the body but you can’t wash the farmer out of the heart and soul |
