Motion Pictures The Glory that is the Big block, Picture thread!

It's no secret that Mickey T's are the bee's knees!

 

Hands down the M/T is my favorite BBC valve cover!

 

It's the squared off shape, the girth makes 'em look so massive.
The 426 HEMI versions are to absolutely slay for.

But that's another thread.....

 

Out main man @enloe has the market cornered on the BBC's!

 

I know that in some circles the gold anodized covers that Moroso sold in the 70's were quite popular but I just want to turn my head away whenever I see an engine with them.

 

My straight axle 53 club coupe.

 

OK you's guys move over for a 425 nail head. Kenny Bell cam is all it took to wake it up. This is a '66 factory (dealer installed) dual quad in a Rivi GS. Not mine anymore though. Sold the car to complete the avatar car.

 

Not mine, but sure wish it was. Blown Cammer.

 

Here's a"W" going in my 55 convertible.

 

^ The original three deuce big block Chevy (ancestor)^.

 

My first was an O/T '70 1/2 Camero SS 402, later a 392 Hemi in my front engine 1964 rail.

 

Mangy ol' Q code 428

 

I have several sets, I love em

 

A few fellow racers big blocks

 

It never occurred to me until looking at this thread that I’ve unknowingly collected a herd of big blocks!

Original ‘66 Catalina 421 tri-power in my ‘64 GTO


454 in my ‘37. I’ve got a set of MT valve covers like above, but I actually prefer the Weiand covers.


Original 454 LS5 in my 71 project (original engine tin ready to be installed)


348 Tri-power in my ‘58


427 in my phantom ‘66 SS427 Chevelle 2 Door post. GM never built it, but they should have!


389 in my ‘59 Pontiac


...... and the 426 Street Wedge from the ‘64 Fury convertible project I just bought.


Who knew?

 

LB is balancing out the thread nicely, with some serious Ford artillery!
Previously, we were Chevy heavy.

 

And a Pontiac or two or three

 

390 in my 63 F100 unibody

What is the "Plate" mounted from the front valve cover bolt for?

 

Sparkplug wire loom bracket

 

That is for the plug wires to run on so they are tidy , just wasn’t hooked up yer
