plowing snow last couple days made me realize how tired my engine is. My grandpa overhauled it 40 plus years ago and its go a fair amount of blow by on hard pull. ive got a set of new sleeves and pistons and gasket set just need bearings. what i would like to know is there any simple power add ons that i can do at the same time like different cylinder head intake etc. I dont want huge power to add risk to trans and rearend
farmall 200 rebuild

The non heated (three rib) manifold from a 240/340/404 will also help along with the head. Also, get a 340 camshaft.
The only way IH upped power on these engines (200, Super C and down) was just cubes (113 vs. 123), compression and RPM's. Once you get higher up in the years (140/240) and also 340 you get better head ports, intake and exhaust, and cam for more power.
Your engine block will likely take the larger OD sleeves (3-7/16), so 3.25" bore sleeves and pistons will get you to 134 cubic inches (The C-135 is a different engine with .062" longer stroke).
Once you reach this point, you will find you will have bad traction problems before you have low engine power problems! 134 cubes in a C/Super C/200 will overpower the tires pretty easily, even with weights.

? Should be a C-135, same engine also as the 404 and 2404?
No, the crank from a C-135 will not "drop in" (but it can be machined) to fit in a C-113 or C-123 block, I don't recommend that. For the $$$ it is not cost effective, it would be easier and better to just swap in a C-135 entire engine from a 404 or something similar.
The H was a C-152 engine. Very, very different than the C-135.

"The Farmall 404 replaced the Farmall 240. The C-135 engine from the larger Farmall 340 replaced the C-123 of the 240. The power output increased from 31 pto hp on the 240 to 37 pto hp on the 404, slightly more than for the old, heavier, 340."

Joe, unless you move up to much larger tires, there would be no point. A well built big-bore C-123 engine will easily overpower the rest of a Super C chassis architecture.
