Hot Rods Engine Porn....

...found a few pics I took of a display at Starbird that a couple of my buds (Joe Kirker & Howard Tribbey) put together....

show some of your ****...

 

Them lucky dogs!

 

Idiots, what's the point of having them on stands to show off? Trailer queens.. these should be in cars and driven on the road and on the track.

 

...so...you never collected anything in your life, just cause you liked em?

 

HR...keep inspectin' them grenades...you'll catch on

****, don't come into my garage. Too many intakes hanging on the wall.

 

Cool stuff. I wish they were in my garage.

 

Swweeeeeeet collectables !!!

 

I doubt I could dream up a nicer collection... those are pieces of art and should be displayed as such...

 

Nope, for me the enjoyment is in using the parts for what they were made for.

I like looking at the engines, just think it's a waste to just have them on a stand.

Same here, lot's of parts all over the place, but also the intention to use them at some point.

For me the whole point of a nice piece of technology build to perfection, as these engines obviously are, is to enjoy them for the purpose that they were intended for, not to just have and look at.

 

3W, Your friends have a great collection of Engines.
This is my best Engine, I wish I could stop working on it, and start on my own Collection.

 

are those runners or just blocks and heads to hang all the cool parts on?

 

awesome!!! those engines rock!

 

Cool!

Howard as in Howard's Custom Flatheads?

Yes thats the same howard. And knowing these two, they are all built motors waiting on projects.

 

Awesome man!!!

 

You just answered your own question.

Great way to display parts that might ordinarily be sitting on a shelf.....especially if the blocks are past useable.

 

Well here is some of mine:
A ready to go 392, & a 331 right behind it
Cant see the 354 industrial on the right, or the other 392 on the left








intake on the 331 behind the 392





Here's my favorite, not quite done yet. Looks just like a little old 331 doesn't it?





And just for HR & the "Mustium collectious" bug and HR my favorite wheels!

 

I've inspected plenty of grenades (seriously, I have. It is as nerve wracking as it sounds) And as a fellow collector of anything and everything that catches my eye, I love it!

 

Someday my living room will have this in the middle of it...

 

Well they can make a great coffe table
I think that is a great idea Mazooma

 

happy finish you pay now!

 

I love ****!

 

I want the nailhead!!
I've started my engine collection.
a 289 block, a set of 351 Windsor heads. Not much longer til I catch up.

 

**** Hey Doug That will blow the dust off of the mantle when you fire the mutha up >>>>.

 

That V-12 gives me wood.

 

That better be a BIIIIIIIG house!

 

Engine ****!!!

 

I hope that the number of cylinders has nothing to so with size. Oh dear, I think I'm in trouble.

Neat gen. setup , pity there isn't always enough room to fit them down there .....

I agree with the idea that there all runners this one appears to be wired an ready to fire ..
