I don't know if those ever made it to Canada. Any place to find more info? Did the engine have a Ford b pattern, bolt or did it use an SAE bellhosing or a custom T-19 case? Sounds like something that would be great with mild boost, but just uttering the words "Herc" tend to suggest some pretty big weight for an S-truck or littel Ford.
Not sure if they made it to Canada or not. Didn't realize you were in SK. Trying to remember, but don't think they are much heavier than a SBF, but could be wrong. I think they still make the engine, just for industrial applications now, search the web for 'Hercules Engines'. They were about as much Ford as the Cummins is a Dodge.
It mated to the standard 2wd T-19 casing, but I think there was a special bellhousing to go between the two. There was one for sale on the web, check out craigslist.org for Buffalo, NY.
Sorry can't be more help. You may want to check out sites for swapping the Cummins 4BT engine as they were both in bread trucks but the Cummins was much more common.
