Hot Rods Engine choice

A 3 valve Cammer V-8 Ford...

 

I love the old Chevys.... I just can't stand mice, rats, rodents...

 

Had to check to make sure the OP wasn't asking to see ''motors''.

 

I’ve wanted to build a 57 chevy with a 425 nailhead for years. I had the 425 but no 57 a few years ago.

 

I have always wanted a 351c but have never lucked into one
Ford did a good job copying bbc heads for those

 

I see your mouse and raise you a rat. HRP

Big, small, FE, Y, Canted valve, flat, any Blue Oval!

 

I've got a 354 HEMI that will go in the Roadster, just like to look of them and they fit the early 1960's era of the build. Bob

 

I got 302 roller in 32 and a 4 BT Cummins in a Power Wagon . I know Power Wagon is a late model but it ain’t Chebby powerwed !

 

31 Model A coupe- 8ba Flatmotor. 52 Willys Jeep CJ3-A--Buick odd-fire 225 v-6. 65 F 100 4x4--FE 390.

 

So far so good. Thanks to my friend Ray Barnes, aka Searbee here on the HAMB, the 500 is in the car and running. It's a full engine compartment for sure. The drive shaft will be ready next week so we should know what we have performance wise in the next week or so. I Plan to post a video of the engine running some time next week.

Smokey Yunick said an engine didn't know what name was on it. But everyone on this site knows the name of the one in their Jalopy. And why. And I always was of the mind if you build something it's your flavor to choose. 'Cause you have to pay for it, and you have to live with it.
