What is the COOLEST Looking V8 you would have in your HotRod

My old pick up truck.......OLDBEET

 

I agree with Fraz....times ten.

 

If I WON the Lottery, I'd put an Aluminum Hemi in my "A" Sedan......

48 Hemi, Better read Drj's post again. He clearly states that McMullen had a cammer Ford in his '32 in the 60's. Still holding the CROW recipe.

In the late 60's I went to one of the Long Beach Trident's car shows and there was some version of a McMullin roadster there with an overhead cam engine in it. I didn't take pictures but it had bubbles in the hood sides to clear the engine. Like the small pic the used on the magazine a couple or 20 years ago. Maybe it was only in it for a weekend, maybe I'd taken too much acid. But I saw it. I feel like Fox Mulder right now, gotta have proof of the green men.... sheesh

 

Heres My Injected Mopar 440. Originaly the Injectors bolted right to the head like olds and Pontiac. I made the manifolds so they now set vertically and have 8" tubes on top.I made the oil pan -valley cover -water inlet assy and the headers.This 440 rocks! FEDER

 

Studmobakers are cool.

 

A blown early Hemi with either injection or way too many carbs.

1955 Desoto 291 FireFlite, because I have the motor now I just need a car worthy of it.

Judd and Tommy know cool motors when they see 'um!

Satinblack, very funny!

That wasn't the original McMullen roadster... I believe that was #2 with a Gurney motor in it.

440 TNT with dual quad setup, unilite, purple cam etc.... work like hell!!!!

Was that a Gurney Westlake?
Those were not OHC, were they?

That sounds about right.
THanks Sam.
It was long ago.
It's still a McMullen roadster.
At the time there wasn't a #1 and #2 around to compare and put in the memory banks...
Jeeze, this silly bit of trivia is getting way too much attention.

 

GARY55:

Those ENGINES are NOT low-buck, they would COST more than what I have to BUILD a car with.

They are AWESUME though

YES!!! You are fine person!!! I'll have that kind of engine in my DeSoto kustom

 

Fat Hack, you're not the only one partial to the Y block, this one's in my T-bird

 

Sam, The engine you are refering to that was in McMullen's '32 roadster was a Moser overhead cam converted SBC not a Gurney motor.

Frank

 

I ran across this photo, taken in the late '90's at Fiesta Days in McHenry...
Damn fine engine, damn nice car.

 

DAMN

So many to pick from

 

what else is there?

 

Not a flathead but definitely a cool Cadillac V8...

 

A proper work'd and dressed early Olds, NOT a SBC with valve covers and too many tubes on the headers.... reminds me I need to go get the other top cover for the ealry Olds valve covers I have at home.......
Currenlty thinking 324 with 4 inch bore, and 3x2 Offy manifold running original J2 tripower carbs.... (all currently in the shed, need some $$ for the rebuild).

 

Damn Cadillac Kid !!!!!!!!! Fuck that mill is THE SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! Heres my ugly Cad

 

I think I can live with this

for a while anyway

 

427 small block LS6 stroker motor.

J/K [ducking flying bottles]
I would go with a worked and dressed up flathead cadillac.

 

Thanks for the props Marcus....I figured you'd get a big kick outta those pics....she's really starting to come together...BTW, where did you get those headers for your Caddy from?
