Features Best sounding engines ?

My favorite has to be my 1570cc drag bike running full tilt. Launches around 9000 and shift at 12500rpm. That is music.

I can tell you it ain't a 4.3 Chevy through 40 series Flowmasters.

 

SBC with 30-30 Duntov from idle to 8 grand or so.Forgot, open headers.

 

When I was 12 I was happy with a Briggs and Stratton with no muffler

Boy that brings back memories! I went down to the local Sears catalog store and bought a chrome vacuum cleaner extension. It just would slide over the Briggs muffler. Man I thought that was the coolest sounding thing on the block! There were 6 of us with Minibikes. Sounded like a heard of wild lawnmowers coming down the alley.

"Little Honker" underneath the overhang at the Holiday Inn in Joplin. WOW!!!!

 

First: when I was 11 my best friends dad bought a '69 boss 302 (my dad"-who the hell would pay $2500 for a mustang with 12,000 miles on it"...) as he pulled away redlined in 3rd that sound pretty much ruined me.
The BRM is wonderful, especially for the era. Beep's Lincoln is Badass, much deeper than the Hemi, (at least to me). There's also a v16 sports car similar to Lambo that is wicked, but I can't find it(yet). Oh yeah and x3 or 4 on MrTim's Y block! Damn!

 

Not hambalicious but for sheer techanical complexity and mechanical genius consider the 1955 Moto Guzzi 500cc V8. 8 cylinders, 8 carburators, 4 camchafts and bring your feeler gauge and dwell meter-8 seperate sets of points. This thing has exhaust valves the size of a pencil eraser. All this and more in a V8 of 30 cubic inches. Raced during '55, '56 and '57 there was no rumbling, bumbling throaty sound from this little lady, it's more like a bee.

 

Lets start with this young mans 327ci build...

more later (for now) E N J O Y !

 

Split manifold Chevy 6

 

One you built yourself and fired up for the first time.

 

Ok, we've had aircraft engines. How about a 2 cycle 200 HP Mercury Black Max outboard. Has a great sounding BARK at idle that newer 4 cycle outboards will never match. Mind you smokes like a SOB at idle too but thats a good thing............

 

The first time my brother and I flipped the air cleaner lid over on my mom's Catalina : )

 

I forgot about the Darracq V8, the ride-along video is just incredible ! I can't help but smile every time I watch it .

 

A 410 sprint car motor

 

nothin sweeter that a 288 inch small block chevy in a early70's lower class modified production car, droppin the hammer at 8000+ rpm , 50lb flywheel, 5.57 rear in a 57 chevy wagon, wheels 4 feet in the air ,grabbin second before the tree.

 

i have that ( S O U N D ) on tape somewhere.... really

TURN IT UP !!!

 

flattrack spec'd 45 cid wlr harley with 5foot straight pipes an fishtails, or any v8 with straight pipes,( my nieghbours hate me).

 

Here's my willys(Bad Company) in the the early 80's when it was owned by Sunny Chapman.

 

My cammer....

 

I think I read somewhere the car had a 396 in it---I may be wrong,. Sure didn't sound like a smallblock to me,.

 

This is not HAMB friendly, but watch the reactions of the people at the end of the video. I prefer the sound of an Offy at full scream, or pretty much anything on nitro, but I heard one of these about 30 years ago, and nothing ever matched it for scream power.

Also the old snowmobile drag engines could be pretty intense!

440 Chrysler with a good cam

 

A 4cyl Crosley cammed for a 3/8 mile dirt track ! close your eyes you might think its an Offy !

 

I agree with the crosley. And raise you my alky burning 836cc cb750 Honda powered tq. It flat ass roars here is a few pics of the engine.

 

the cackle of my Dad"s IHC Farmall Suer M tractor with a straight pipe pulling a 3X16" plow at night. wish he was still here....

 

TURN UP THE VOLUME BOYS!!!

I've had big block vettes, mopars, and Fords. Nothing gives me goose bumps like my Harley 510 twin Crower cams, gear drive, programmable ignition, vance & hines staggered pipes, Screaming Eagle big bore kit and carb kit.
