what engine you running

'58 Chevy Apache - 283 w/ T-5
'27 Ford Coupe - 8BA flathead (50 model) w/ '39 top shift ******
'50 Ford Fordor - 5.7 (350) Chevy w/ AOD (for non mechanic son)
'50 GMC 100 - BBC (454) with Muncie M-22 rock crusher

The Apache has 35k miles on it since being built, the Fordor is almost on the road and the '27 parts are being stacked up in the shop for my new years resolution project. The poor old GMC has been set on the back burner several times in the last 20 years.

 

sbf

 

SBC intro'd in 1955

BBC shortly after as a 348 then 409

New design BBC 396 in 65

What about the aluminum 215 Buick/Pont/Olds V8? 1961 I think...

 

292 Y-block in my '60 F-100, and loving it. Recently swapped out the six.

 

425ci Cad/ TH400 in my '52 Cad. My avitar says it all...lol

 

78 Ford 300 c.i. Straight six in my 47 ford 1/2 ton. Not traditional at all but I love them

216 in my 51 Chevy(soon to be a 55 235)
327 in my 55 Wagon(I know its a sbc, but its got three pedals and a pull out overdrive, so that has to count for something right?)

 

51 303 olds 3x2 rochesters on a sharp mani, spalding flamethrower dist, and soon to have #10 heads...

not much, but its what i got!

 

Ford FE series needs to be on the list...maybe even MEL's...

The small-block Ford came out in '62 as the 221 but maybe that's too close to the cut off date?

 

not vintage, but I'm doing a 440 w/ 4- 2 barrels in my 40 chebby

 

BBC 454 in my cpe. 455 Buick for my modified project. As been said many times there's "no replacement for displacement"

I'll stick with sbc's.You can't go wrong.

 

Real rodders don't give a damn about the rules.

I think that the real roll over from hot rod to street rod is when you find yourself placeing more importance on the high zoot ****, but that's just my opinion if you can smell what I'm thinkin'.

 

AMEN

Too bad a lot of guys don't understand that

 

The Stude engine was the biggest factor in me buying this truck. It would still be cool in a 53 Stude coupe but it's really cool in a 34 Ford P/U. IMHO

 

'29 Model A Sedan- 303 rocketet/hydro
'30 A Sedan- 394 Skyrocket
'30 A Pickup- 320 S8 Buick/T5
'29 Sedan- 223 Ford Six

plus more to come.

 

Early 327Chevy, double humps,finned covers,early 60's Hilborn,lumpy mech. cam.Don't get much easier than that.

 

The wagon is running the origional 1955- 265 with 3 on the tree. The 59' will be running a 62'- 283.

 

hmmm...which car? 53 Chieftain, straight 8; 55 wagon, original 8; 40 coupe, 440 mopar; the OT's are all getting 455's, buick or Pontiac...also got a 472 caddy for something...so I gotta buy something for the motor.
