I figured I'd give a little introduction. I'm just a wrench turner in Montana with a farming habit. I've had a fascination with V6's since I was about 8 when we acquired a Farmhand RanchHand loader with a farm my parents bought. Turns out that the loader was equipped with nothing but a 305 V6. For some reason, it was love at first sight.

Anyhow, here I am a few years later and am still enthralled by V6's. My latest project entails a cheap Farmall F20 and a cheaper 478 V6.

The F20 engine is shot, so why not?
