Pics of different styles of old engines

Here's the chunk of iron under the hood of my 52 Pontiac... It's a 268 Flathead straight eight... .060 over.

My 303(?), going in Dad's Henry J w/4sp.

 

Now you're talkin'. I love lookin' at all the cool old engines. Yeeeessss! Here's a couple I can contribute.​

Here's a screamin' GMC six-cylinder 302. It's got the cross-flow head, produced by Fontana Automotive. Bad***edest 302 six I've ever seen! Good for 375-425hp! And also my friend Palle Johansen's Italmeccanica-blown flathead Caddy engine going into '32 his roadster. Palle is from Denmark. So cool. Keep 'em comin' guys. Love it! - Rick​

Some 1957 Olds J-2 pics

 

This is a beautiful Lincoln Zephyr full dress V-12.

 

How can we forget Mr Duntov's addition to the world of speed. Without this Ford accessory we would never of had the Hemi.










Doc.

 

Damn that is sweet, but they gotta loose the alternator and billet pulleys!

 

Not exactly sure on year, but a pontiac straight 8

 

Could have been. But for all I can find out and what little I remember Chet was a 1320 guy so I'm going to guess it was probably in a car or reasonable facsimile there of.

Although if it wasn't stuffed into something like and altered the angle of the carb pads might suggest boat. There is no water pickup and the copper manifold is reminiscent of an early '60s dragster of some sort.

 

Doc
This flatty is pretty cool. Its a modern conversion? I guess if its an OHV it isn't really a flatty is it?

Some place around here I have a pic of Ed Iskanderians OHV Flatty in the old salter. I wish I knew where it was.

It isn't anything but an oddity no one would ever find another but it is cool.

 

V12?, I see six spark plugs but why do i only see 4 exhaust pipes??

 

How many exhaust pipes do you see on a Ford flathead?

 

not real rare but cool just the same 348 chevy

 

Studebaker 289 (which looks similar to the 259, 232 and 224) V8 out of 1964 Cruiser sedan.

 

the poly I just picked up for my project

 

Cool Nailhead - set-up to look like the carbs are real - it really has EFI plumbed under the manifold!

 

Early Caddy...

 

just an old 49 truck motor....lol
