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

I'm a Ford guy and even I'd like a Nailhead! ( A 427 SOHC is cooler in some ways but I could actually afford a nailhead!)

 

Very nice, those are the coolest looking engines in my opinion.

 

Here is the Engine for my Coupe-

 

1955 265 Corvette motor.





how 'bout a 375 HP Fuelie?



1970 LT-1




I didn't see a good picture of one, but if I were rich I would put a factory correct air cleaner to oil pan 2-4 BBl Corvette motor in my 49 Chevy.

 

331 365 390 caddy motor what I already have or a blowen flatty

 

392 Hemi with Hilborn.

SOCH in my 57 tbird

700 plus cubes

1960 225 slant 6

the above car with the slant 6 in 1960

 

Always liked the flats,but hemis are the shiznit!!!!

 

The hemi looks the most impressive

 

I agree, 270hp 283 has to rate pretty high on my list, especially the '57, with the little aircleaners.

 

Looks like the pic I took @ the Woodward Cruise in 2010...

 

probably just stick to the same old blown Oldsmobiles

 

89 Street and Performace Corvette tune port injected SBC

 

sorry but a sbc,s 283 270 hp gets my vote but i also like a dressed up y-block,390 caddy,nailhead,and early olds much to tried of flathead fords and hemi both good looking motors but they are now the one,s that are too over done

 

Ardun but to pricy for me so hemi.

 

Depends on the car, for my '28, it's got a flatty, if I had a '32 (a little bigger) it needs a SBC with 3-dueces, a '27 (little smaller) a Quad-4, dressed like an Offy.

Next question, which post has the longest running string of replies?

 

Chevy 302 w/ tunnel ram and 30/30 cam. Or a ford 427 cammer.

But it's damn hard to pick only one!!!!!

 

any? SOHC!

 

And on the 7th day God created the HEMI.

392 or crate 528 either, Blown for my 57 Dodge, that would be a dream come true.

 

Anymore out there boys?

 

I think someone (not me) should total all the choices and lets see what engine is most desirable.

 

Hemi

 

An Aurora or a Northstar---that would be different.

 

348 409

 

Another vote for the nailhead, gobs of torque and they look so cool fully dressed. Love to put one in my 40.

 

I have yet to score the air cleaner I want but I do so much like my y block.
