need pics of small block vintage looking without any chrome

any pics of chevy smallblock with vintage look , no chrome hanging all over it would be appreciated........planning out next car

 

I've cleaned it up and changed some stuff since this pics but you get the idea

 

thanks..............anymore would be appreciated, this engine will be going in a roadster , going for very early look

 

The engine in my 51 is built to look circa 1955....but with chromed valve covers you can look at it when we go to Stan Betz place...it has no FOOFOO **** on it!

 

cool........thankyou

 

Stolen off the HAMB. One looks like a mostly stock 57 283. It could be anything. I am planning to build a 55 265. No mistake with them! That is the engine facing left. Also stolen from the HAMB.

 

Man, what a great thread. This is what the anti SBC ppl need to see.

 

Andy...............perfecto...........thankyou

actually there is a few cool ones posted i didnt see when i typed so i edited

 

and we have a winner....that is my most favorite small block and the car that is attached to it is stunning!!!!!!!!

 

ok,,this was just a quick job on dressing up this 350 engine to look old on the cheap....
(stencil valve covers,,,oil fill tube,,,old aircleaner)

...but i have to give a public SHOUT OUT to the owner of the roach for hooking me up with the nailhead aircleaner this past wekend he removed after installing his 3 duece intake

 

this engine will be going in a 32 roadster thats gonna be built for my gal.......some have met her,,,,,,,,,,,she is totally dedicated to this project

 

Lots of cast aluminum

 

that is one sweet looking engine

 

what are those exhaust manifolds????..they arent those ones speedway sells.....

or are they:?????

 

yea those are speedway's , they are available in cast plain, stainless plain and stainless polished..i have a set of the cast ones on my 31 coupe

 

Here's the 327 i built for my old 63 Impala..
Look's nice and original....except it wasn't..
The header's are the only clue to the eye..
Painted aluminum intake, Holley 650 mechanical carb hidden under the stock air cleaner top ( custom bottom pulled lot's of air), converted dizzy, solid cam, roller rockers, 461 heads with stainless valves, screw in studs etc, forged slugs blah blah blah...
It was a sleeper in every sense..I loved the fact it looked to untouched, yet ran pretty damn strong.
This is probably too stock looking for what your after, but just thought i'd post it up in case it wasn't..
Pluck it out of the big body car, swap the air cleaner for something with a little more flash and it would be a very 'sano' mill in a rod..

 

Custom made tubular. There is alot of *****in one off pieces on that sedan delivery.

 

one

 

It's actually got stock steel 327 valve covers on it now. Gotta figure out what to do with the air cleaner though...

 

I don`t get it...you ask for engines with no chrome...and all I see in this post is the exact opposite..

 

Here's a pic of the 301 in my altered 55

 

Heres mine.

 

Here is mine.

 

May not be a SBC, but this one gets my vote . Could be GM part #3965774 outa' the crate. Back in the 70's I'd buy'em in the crate for $900 and then I took'em apart, checked clearances, change a few bearings and restricted the oil p***ages to the top. Then add my trick 7 trap door oil pan, intake/carb, Harland Sharp roller rockers and Vertex mag.

Neat looking stock valve covers with stack breather tubes .

 

I think thats a 502 Hot Rod built that car a few years ago. It also has EFI. BTW thats my favorite too.

Early 327 Chevys... It doesn't get any better.
