Pics of different styles of old engines

Heres a selection from my shed : A couple of sidevalves, Hogan & Allard equipped. A Hudson Twin H and a 56 Olds with Edelbrock intake.

 

You should buy the new "Hot Rod Deluxe" mag. It has some very interesting photos of different engines built in the the 50s. There is also a article on the old San Fernando drag strip which was the inspiration for Jan & Deans "Drag City".

 

1941 Nash 177cid 6

Carb bolts to the head, exhaust manifold is pipe clamped to the block

 

Found this whilst searching for Y-Block info.

"Weslake Ford Y-block engine built by British racing and aircraft engine company. According to "Speedy" Bill Smith of Speedway Motors (who has one of the few know to exist on display in his museum), features aluminum heads with "Industria Argentina" cast onto them."

Possibly designed for F1. I love it!

 

My latest Pontiac V/8...a 370 cu in.

 

This will be running soon.

 

That is begging to be used

 

hot rod magazine ones explain them selves. the other one is a U16 Sampson

 

Never mind that it's a blown 21 stud (pre 37) I love that it's in this guys living room

hears my three 1954 Chy hemi 331 1960 buick 364 and 1949 lincoln 337

 

We have one of the Weslake Y-block engines in our shed.
Came out of a single seat racer years ago.
We thought it was a bigger inch motor but it measured to 2.9 litres.

Has many features are similar to the bigger Weslake motors but on close inspection nothing is the same.
The heads do have the legend Industria Argentina cast into them.
Until now we couldn't identify it so it was pushed under a bench and left there...

Thanks guys, I may get excited about doing something with it now.

 

Here is a pic of my little 2.5 Daimler Hemi just put together the extractors and fitted to the engine.

 

That's a neat engine. Cool avatar too...

 

My Weslake Y block.

 

Big roy, could you tell me what year the magazine ***led," Fords new exotic engines" is, I,ve been after a copy for years and couldnt remember what year it was. many thanks. bill

 

These have to be the ultimate 60's engines IMO

 

Any more pics?

 

1950 323.5 Chrysler Straight Eight, Dual Carb set up manifold from a 413 dodge truck engine, Home made intake and exhaust manifold flange for dual exhaust header. Streached frame 6" for the straight eight.
Installing in a 1929 Dodge Coupe Special with golf club door and rubble seat for a long low look.

 

Keeping with the Flathead Mopar vein, how about this old Mopar?

 

If you want to see wierd engines, Bonneville is the place for you. HYere's a blown, injected Pontiac SLANT 4



A well dressed Banger...



Ok, not HAMB friendly, but different. Had to give it a GOOD going over before I found a YAMAHA logo on it.



And a couple strange deisels...





Uhhh, you tell me...

 

the last one is an Olds i think^^^

 

Yeah baby!!

 

1910 Maytag. Yes, they made cars. Also gasoline engines for washing machines.

 

What, No MEL's yet???

 

I knew about the Ford aircooled X-8; I just saw a Ford water cooled X-8 engine in the Curtis Air Museum in NY..I didn't think any X-8's still existed; it was pretty large at about three feet accross, head to head..As usual I had no camera..

 

Now this is an interesting thread! Pictures are great but what would be REALLY interesting is to know the details, like what years a certain engine was produced or the identifying features, what vehicles would have originally had that engine, etc. If it's a non-production or speciality engine then a little background on it would be nice. I am surprised at how many of these engines I can't identify by looking at the photos. Good stuff! Would like to learn more.
