What's your Favorite Vintage Hot Rod engine

I love 327s!

 

Caddillac 500 1970 Eldorado motor

 

Growing up, my favorite cars had Nail Heads!
'69 had a 32 Chevy 3 window with a Nail Head too.

 

second the nailhead!!!

 

Olds Rocket !!!

 

Early Chrysler hemi, hands down.

 

Any engine can look sexy with attention to detail. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm sure there are a couple of exceptions to these rules.
Besides that, I really enjoy my 327 with camels and triples!!!
I love a shotgun, a hemi, a mouse, and a rat. I'd give my eye teeth for Ardun stuff, blame ZAD for the sbc and more. Nailheads are neat, W's are sweet. Heard a 4.3 and an Iron Duke that would make you sweat from the compression thumping, for the dirt track.
Just give me a beat that's easy to dance to, show your passion!

 

sbc or 348-498

 

Small block ford........Awsome.

 

283 Corvette FI

 

Offy.
Ducati desmo.
Gaerte 410

 

All of them....

Desoto Hemi, Flathead, Ardun, OHV Bangers, Olds Rockets, Nailheads, FH Cads and OHV, damn I need HELP !!

Rat

 

Mopar polyspherics look cool with those sawtooth valve covers.

 

Like in a Deuce???

 

Buick Straight Eight.....9.47 @ 146.21 in 1/4 mile.

 

I've wondered if those Ducati Desmo style valves would be worth a darn in an Ardun style conversion.

 

For me, its got to be a 327 Chevy. That size small block Chevy has a lot
of memorys for me.

 

Whew! NICE!

 

SBC(406's that leave pucker marks in the seat)
Distributor in the back Hemis.. 331 354 392

 

I totally agree! Here's mine!

 

Caddy flattie.......

 

Early Hemi. There is no substitute.

 

Boss 351

 

Gotta like all these guys picking 327's, I have two of them. Anybody wanna swap a tall deck desoto for one??

 

I'm partial to my SBF Shelby Cobra 260 since 1968, always dependable!!!!!!!

 

Yep i love a Windsor too but this Y Block is going into my next car

 

In No particular order....HEMI, Y Block, Flattie, Nail, FE, Chev small block.

 

348/409 tri power , slant six , pontiac inline ohc 6.

 

My faves would be:

The Buick Straight-8 (like I had in my '53 Special...see my Albums); the 401 Buick Nailhead (the one that's in my INVICTA); the 361 Chrysler "Golden Commando" (in my '59 Plymouth Wagon); the 360 that's been transplanted into my '57 Dodge D-500; and, the 348/409 Chev "W" / "Camel Hump" Engines
