    Have two. One in my roadster and one in my 48 Ford.

    The one in the 48 is a 51 with Ingle. solid lifter racing cam, John's 11 1/2 to one pistons and Eldorado two fours. It was built in the 50s, I bought it on ebay and had it shipped from Chicago to California.

    The 50 in the roadster has an Iski. Solid roller tappet cam and lower compression. Horne manifold and four 97s.

    I have a few. My 49 Ford has a 1960 390, my 28 Tudor project has a 1950 331. Then there are the floor motors: 1950 331(core) 1957 365(core) 1959 390(core) 1960 390(runner). I think I have issues. Then there is the Cadillac speed equipment, thats another issue.

    Man Thats A Bad ass Caddy motor.. You really nailed the Kookie Motor...

    How dose the Horn / Crager do as far a getting the motor warmed up since its got
    the heat riser blocked.. The Edelbrock I had (Swapped it for other version) was a "Cold"
    Intake and it would be frost cold after the motor ran for 10 minutes.. it was a drag intake,, It ran like shit and took for ever to warm up.. I had to shut it off and let the heat
    warm it... I was wondering if the Horn had the same issues.. Thats my dream intake...
    with a RotoFaze like Norms car...

    The 331/365/390 Cad is best motor ever- Runs cool, runs strong, takes abuse, and the starter is on the right side!

    Mine has been worn out for years, but it won't die!!!
