What is the COOLEST Looking V8 you would have in your HotRod

I'd kinda like to transplant this into a T-bucket. Yellow scoop and all.


Second choice would be a Smokey built 427 with the Smokey cross ram. Oops, done that one. Back to the Surfers hemi I guess.

 

My friend's blown FH is kinda cool looking...

 

It did say V-8, but I had to post these mockup pics of my inliner.

Scotch!

Buick Inline 8s are hardly petite. Not for the weak. Not for pussies. LOL!!

 

How long is it? heh heh It's about 3 feet long Baby!

It'll be runnin' soon...almost 300 cubes (vs. 263ci stock), and about 225 ponies (up from 128 stock).

 

A fav since I saw 3dueces (broken jukebox photography) work on deviantArt...speaking of I need buy a copy for my wall.

slowpoke isn't that Shines flattie in his pickup?

 

I know it's been mentioned already, but...

CAMMER!

 

You are correct sir.

Rolls Royce merlin, out of a spitfire!

 

Rockabilly,
I think Mr42's already beat you to the Merlin idea

How about a Packard Merlin with a bunch of Maytag parts?

Would be one mean mother!

 

gee,scotch,i didnt know a straight 8 was a cool lookin V8
Creepy

 

a 371 olds with 6 97s

 

I've always thought that Ford made a real nice V8...for the Pershing TANK! About 1000 c.i., 500 hp, all aluminum SOHC (shaft driven)! Dunno torque... I think "gobs"!
Hefty bugger though...I think about 1200 lbs. This is a Heffalump Motor!!

 

DAMN, that thing must weight a TON!

 

Here's what I want in my next project:

Dream Engine

 

I gotta put in another vote for the 348/409. First car was a 59 El Camino (with the little 283). I was determined to get a 348 from then...and still am. Got my eyes peeled.

 

I would be stoked with a clapped out, grimey chevy 350 yanked out of a junkyard station wagon...

 

Well,
I don't have any pic, but I'm planning on running my aluminum Buick 215 in my Paige Roadster...
I'll need to learn how to properly polish it first...

This would be cool to run the streets in......

 

I'm still partial to the old Latham supercharged Y-block that is now running in texas. I hated to sell it cause it was beautiful but I have a blown 392 Hemi and an Algon injected Lincoln 430 (that I'll post up next week cause there ain't one here and this post is a nice one for checking out everything). This is for Fat Hack....
I'm with ya on the Y block love but they're all cool.

 

I have always like the MoPar 383, 413, 440.. But there is something about the 421, and 428 pontiac that i have always liked..

well probably a 331 cad, 348,409,or a 409 w/ a 454 crank which if itsa bored so much it turns out to be 474 (?) cid. the list goes on and on but the wallet doesnt. haha

johnny

 

If I could have any engine I wanted it would have to ne a side oiler Ford and for looks make it a cammer.
Ultimate hotrod engine will always be a huffed 392 Hemi

 

Well I'm working on a different v8 for my future coupe/roadster (whatever I find).

Mercury Marauder 383 312hp...no it's not an FE, it's a MEL.
and this will sit on top of it.
