Research poll, how many guys have access to a V8 motor under 302"

This poll is for some informal research. Try and be as accurate as possible.

Thanks

 

I have a 225 slant six waiting for rebuild for my modified, My 45 GPW has a 231 buick Turboed, Ferign shit consists of a 87 samuari with the stock 1300 awaiting conversion to a 1.9 vw turbo diesel...
Everything else is biggger

I have a 1967 283 in my gay-rog waiting for me to make it cool. I LOVE small displacement, high winding engines. It is the root(hawg) of my crack-addiction.

My FAVORITE small block drag car was a '74 Vega with an 11k rpm 301, complete with a lenco back in '91. NOTHING comes close to the sound and excitement of a short stroke small block chivvy hitting redline, and fuck all the sbc whiners.

 

I've got 2 289 fords under the bench, a56 Savoy with a 270 poly,a 51 nash (it takes a secure man to admit they own a Nash) with a flat 6,61 Falcon with a 170,I need a cubic inch transplant!!

I have 283, 307 and 235 I-6 chevy...............and 221 and 289 ford v-8 spare engines.........

 

My red ram is a 241, it's like that puny kid with the really big head(s). it's cute though... it's a dodge though, so i didn't add to the poll.

 

'64 283 sitting on the floor in the back of the garage...and one in my '32

 

Sorry Mopar guys. I don't know how to edit the poll part of this.

 

Got a 63 small journal 283 just waiting for a T coupe someday. I too love high reving small journal chevys. Actually a 289 ford is no joke either. As far as your poll is concerned I find them all the time, some dumbass is always trading one in for the 350 crate motor!

 

'65 283 in the T truck.

'57 283 in Missy's '46 Mopar.

'64 260 for Gray's Falcon wagon.

 

Lets see - at the engine shop we have...

264 Buick that is already rebuilt and for sale
265 SBC - I think there is at least one
267 SBC - someone abandoned it at the shop, no surprise
283 SBC - at least 2 are there...
241 Hemi - need 1 rod for the damn thing
270 Poly - thinking of putting the hemi heads on this
260 ford
289 Ford
3 late Flatheads - one is a merc
Some funky small displacement AMC's

I am sure there is more there...my engine builder is cool.

 

'55 265, still std. bore but in need of rebuilding.

'57 283, already bored .100 over (298 cubes), just needs gaskets, rings and a cam/lifters to go together.

 

I have 2 283, and 1 289. other than thst its all above 302.

one of each

 

I have 4 49-53 Ford flatheads & 1 Merc, a 265 Chev, a 265 bored 283 and last years HAMB DRAGS raffle Ford 289 bored .030.

 

Yes I have a Chevrolet V8 less than 302 CI.

A 56 265 that came in my first 32 Ford. It needs a sleeve but maybe someday I'll step up to the plate and rebuild it.

Oh yeah 259 Studebaker in the P/U

 

283 - .030 over, waiting to be finished.

 

I'm building a 61 Olds 215.

 

260 Ford, about 15 Flatheads plus a 276 DeSoto...291 DeSoto...maybe others

 

I have a 283 in a 62 bel-air 4 door waitin to be yanked out plus an alumin glide

 

who cares? what's important is that I have a few with more than 400 ci

 

291 desoto in my 46, looks way bigger than any 302

62 virgin bore 283 waiting to go in the 5 window

 

I have a 283 sitting in my mockup.but I dont know if its any good for a rebuild.

 

I've got a Ford 221,a 260 and a 289. So what are you schemin'?

Oh yeah, and a 292 for the sedan.

 

Soooooo.........What is the focus of this research, Dr Roothawg?[you're not related to Dr Ruth Westheimer are you? ]
