A '32 motor for my '32 roadster:


Miller's 308cid DOHC V8 was specifically designed for use in Miller's (two) 1932 four wheel drive Indy Cars. One of these cars won the 1936 AAA Championship. The other traveled to Europe to contest international races. This may be the first V8 to feature dual overhead camshafts. Cylinder banks are arranged in a 45° V, and a flat (180°) crankshaft is used. New to Miller, its split aluminum crankcase features babbitted bearings in removeable caps. Heads/cylinders are cast iron.

 

Or if you're really nuts, like this - our 1940 Cadillac flathead, 700 HP or so on Alky :

 

I guess I have to vote for the old hemi with the twisted pipes

This...............

 

Ardun or boss 429

 

If you're worried 'bout gas mileage ya might consider a Prius(perish the thought);o)

 

I would love to have a Boss 429 or a 427 SOHC. Those valve covers really draw my attention. Kinda rare to see on the street. There's probably a "good" reason for that. (Feel free to insert your definition of "good"!)

 

I'm partial to Mopar big blocks with long rams:

 

Novi Special V8

 

Thats ugly.

 

One of these days.




Hilborn injected Ardun.

 

This here nailhead

 

Papa,

Wow. Ardun, Hilborn injectors and pump, SW tach drive, Vertex angle drive. What did this come out of before being placed into deep storage?

Still a flathead fan!

 

i,m with you on a y-block like the say sure ford made other motors beside the y-block but who grives a shit

 

Hemi/Nailhead/Flathead but no blower-definitely multicarbs.

 

so many hemi they have become the replacement for sbc,s not that either one isn,t cool it,s just nice to see others

 

I'll cast my vote for a dressed up Olds Rocket but it's gotta have 6-2s and a vertex. After that it's an early Corvette 2-4bbl just like the factory made it - beautiful.
Next would be a Hemi w/the Firepower valve covers, then a dressed up Nailhead.

 

Ford DOHC Indy V-8 with a bundle of snakes exhaust is pretty cool

 

Ford DOHC Indy V-8 with a bundle of snakes exhaust is pretty cool

A cool engine-but not for a hot rod IMHO. For me, that means carbs or FI, no blower, no AC compressor dangling about, no snakes of exhaust tubing. . (Full disclosure-I run a 350SBC with an Edelbrock 4 barrel-coolish, but not COOLEST)

 

25k for nos ardun heads...f that . flat head caddy...i have 3 for grabs....daddio

 

Hemi.

 

The caddy would be ultimate cool hot rod engine to me.

 

Nothing real fancy here but Pontiac in anything I would ever own. 12:1 469 cubic inches of Pontiac power.

 

I know I will get some crap for this but still the 2 best and coolest have to be the small block Chevy and flathead Ford, they are TIMELESS
