Pic request: 60's style engines

I'm looking for some pics of engines done 60's style. Finned valve covers, Hellings aircleaner ect. I'm doing a SBC and need insperation.

Thanks,
Todd

 

i second this request and not to jack someones thread but if someone has pics of cool 327's that would be nice and make me smile

 

350 SBC....has 327 double hump heads (no holes), short WP, Cal-Custom V/C's, Weiand 4x2 w/ progressive 97's, Mallory tach drive dizzy (it is a Unilite however ) and headers.....
The engine is painted OD green.....so it doesn't really look 60's in my PU, but the parts fit into the 60's vibe....hopin' for air cleaners for X-mas...hahaha .....

 

60's show

 

SBC in my Anglia. 60's drag style.

 

OK I'll play.
Here's a stock 283 in a '57 vette with dual wcfbs.

Here's my favorite in a duece roadster. Edelbrock intake with Rochester 2gs.

Or how about something a little wilder.

 

mine was built in 59-60
but dont worry my hemi is going to be 60s style full on.
evel your motor looks great man

 

These could all be called "60s" but none of em are Chevvies...











Good luck, -Abone.

 

Here's my Cragar blower motor w/ chain drive.

 

SBC, The Weiand Drag Star, 6-94's with polished hard lines.
Flatty, Scot blower dual 97's. The 39 trans case, oil pan and headers are also plated.

 

Going In A 3w Im Working On

 

Heres a couple i have.

 

'63 413, Weiand Drag Star, will have 6 2GC's, W&H Ducoil. All backed by an 833 with a Hurst Ram Rod.

 

The 327 in my roadster and the 350 in my wagon with original Cal-Custom accesories. Gary

 

Along those same lines, when did it become popular to paint the exhaust manifolds white? Early mid or late 60's?

 

there was a time when everything I owned was 60's Style's

 

Not much chrome, spent most of the money for the go-fast equipment.

335" Olds Rocket.



53 Rocker Covers with short pieces of exhaust tubing welded in and breather caps painted gray and installed both sides.
The covers were painted wrinkle black.

Hex shaped fuel block in brushed finish for the triples.

You can't see it, but the home-made fenderwell headers were painted VHT black.

The chrome plated "Air Cleaners" were about it for the engine shiny stuff.

The remainder is pretty much self-explanatory.

Paint's still a good option nowadays although a pair of shiny rocker covers really help set the engine off.

Nice engines are . . . nice, but imo it's all about showing off the taillights....


A couple pics of the 462" Buick engine in my 32 roadster.




As you can see paint - and powder - is still pretty much in use.

Lots more home-made aluminum stuff though.

If you can't make it pretty, at least make it interesting.
Lotsa stuff on the engine and firewall that some folks have a hard time figuring out.
Seems to entertain them though.

 

'69 355 made to look a bit older..Offy intake, edelbrock carbs, Cal Custom valve covers, 461 heads, fill tube etc...what's hidden inside is all modern performance stuff..**** crank, Crane rollers, forged slugs, solid cam blah blah blah

 

hay why no 348s ? from overkill.

 

0.060" over 401......

Mine

 

Have'nt seen a pic of one of these air breathers yet, so I thought I'd throw it in. Ive seen these in '58 Rod magazines for $6.50. They are accually for boats I was told. You see em every now and then.

 

Hey Tommy,
which Strombergs are on your Stude there?
do you like them better than the WW's?

 

Finally, a nail head. Ahhh. Rich, no Packard pics?

 

Here's two pictures. One is a picture from a 1960 car show of my roadster with a 322 Nailhead setup. I still have the car (second pic) and recently restored it back exactly the way I ran it in the 1960's (except for the half hood and an electric fan)

 

Here's a few non sbc

 

complete with authentic duct tape

 

WOW! I've never seen a Weiand Drag Star for a big block Mopar! Know I want one!!
