Motors with Attitude

Here are a few from the 2008 Ty-Rods show in Massachusetts.

The Crosler has a motor as big as the car itself. The rat rod is just super cool with the huge military shells as part of the exhaust and the cool blue rod had a blown Arden.

 

I still like The Olds engines... Hemi's... Ardun's... and the Marauder

 

HOT ROD cover photo, but what year?

 

High and Mighty

 

Mercuryjunky's 727 wins!...

 

How about this set up.This is over in the ford thuderbolt pictures wanted.It's a big ford FE engine with four 4 barrel carbs,Twin supercharged and NOS. WHOA.

 

Pretty wild but I'm still partial to my big block Ford.

 

I saw that Thundebolt (clone I believe) with quad carbs at the Ford Nationals in Carlisle in 2004 and had a nice talk with the owner. At that time he was still sorting out the tuning but the thing was wicked for sure.

 

345 Desoto ... Unfortunately that V12 SOHC is a PhotoShop engine so I guess it does not really qualify. Real stuff is all that matters.

 

Once again no show, all go...

 

Hard to argue with the attitude of the SOHC 427, Hemi, or any of the purpose built race engines..Offy, 4 cam Ford, Etc.

A few more...

Bad Ass Mopar 4 cylinder in Blowfish




Long Ram Dodge

 

Dave, This thing is awesome just to look at, much less see it run! I'd love the chance to do both in person!

 

Here's my sbc: kinsler stacks, front drive magneto, peterson drysump, brodex heads, crower crank, jesel, about 13:1 w/20% nitro. This little whore makes as much power as most anything here. Who needs exotics when you got a chevy.

 

The long ram dodge motor is on the November 1959 HotRod magazine, the same one tht featured our Bentas Raven in the centerfold. I have quite a few copies of that magazine as would be expected and this motor has always been on my lists of Motors with Attitude.

I think this one might have a little bit a a tude also

 

any info on this one?

 

and while I'm here, this one never gets old... the PBY and a flathead version by the HAMBs own Rich Fox

 

For the Cammer guys, wish i had the pics of the front cover and the head, The pattern for the heads would blow you away... Talk about perfection...

 

Ok I'll say it. What the hell??????? More info on that car please?

 

Sherman Tank engine...

 

Blown Injected Ardun Anyone???

 

Same as post #41 4 cam Ford... Powered indy cars, USAC sprint cars, and others...

 

I like to think my little SBC has a bit of attitude...

 

Thanks, I'm not familiar with the Ford DOHC.

 

On 90% this thing REALLY gets an attitude.

 

The 427 Tunnel Port is more of an unassuming, mean engine, no flash, all go.

 

The only thing not exotic about this engine is the name.

 

My number one choice is the FORD 427 CAMMER, 2nd is the INDY 4 CAM FORD, 3rd is the ALLISON AIRCRAFT ENGINE
