What is a RARE Chevy motor? (like the Ford Ardun)

Not really rare, but different. I've been running this one in my '40 since 1998.


GMC 292, bored .030, ported & polished, Comp Lifters, 270 wolverine cam, 3x2 Holley Webers, Langdon Headers. Smooth power, lot's of torque! Always gets the looks and questions, " Why did you put a six cylinder in it? " or " It's good to see you put a six cylinder in it ".
I'm glad I did it. It's been a good ride.

 

a rare chevy

how about a good one that's worth owning

 

the Mickey Thompson chevy hemi or you could do a GM motor that's not chevy but rare is the Pontiac with the Mickey Thompson hemi heads.

 

The 350 Chevy that came from the factory in the fibergl*** 32 Ford's is extremely rare.

 

Skippin' gym cl*** again, huh?

 

I must have a rarity then, the 2.8 in my 85 fiero gt has 111000 and has never been apart.

 

I guess if they hadn't junked so many Furd power plants they too would be cheap and common.

 

Here's another one - a Weslake Chevy big block engine - one of two pairs of Big Block Chevy heads made by Harry Weslake and supplied to John Surtees for his CanAm team in late 1965 I believe. These were on a 427 ZL1 aluminum block and produced 640 HP. This was engine was at one time in a race car I owned in the 1980s. Sorry for the old B&W photos - and poor scan - it's all I have left....

 

Z-11 was 427 cube..

 

That's the Falconer V12, sorta based on the SBC and popular with air and boat racers.

650ftlb at 1500 rpm.

 

I prefer the 409

 

what exactly is this supposed to mean?

 

Hey Jason------Did you ever imagine your simple "new guy" question would carry this much life?-----So what was/is the out come of your project?

 

By 1952 ED "crankshaft' KELLY had cut back the 1949 caddy 331 to a 231 cu. in. V8 for chevy, but then ED COLE came over to CHEVY and s****ed the 231 V8 and his team made the sb chevy engine. I found seven places on the internet that talk about this 231 chevy V8 and I got a picture of the engine. Before I could get the hi res and contrast 8"x10" picture they made me have a PERSONAL USE ONLY SHEET. I am still looking for more data on this 231 chevy V8.
This too rare?

 

Praise the Lord for Ed Cole, Harley Earl, Zora Arkus-Duntov, and Bill Mitchell

 

A rare Chevy motor? One that runs

 

The rarest Chevrolet engine: a 350 that is NOT claimed to be a "Corvette" engine.

1923 Copper-Cooled Chevrolet The brilliant Charles Kettering's only engineering misstep was an air-cooled OHV four-inline engine developed for use in Chevrolets. This concept was ahead of its time and all of the 'copper-cooled' 22-horsepower engines had to be replaced with conventional powerplants.
