So who has the most bad ass mill on the Hamb

It's funny, I was just in the can reading Rod & Custom from Sept. '53. There is an article on putting an Oldsmobile in a Chevy. I wonder, back before '55, if guys would look under the hood, and say, "Gee wizz, ANOTHER Olds/Caddy engine!"

 

Actually, I used to say that in '55. Oldses in particular. But the Cad always had a higher place, (yes, similar stuff, but the ring: "Cadillac.") When you asked what somebody was runnin', they usually said, "Forty-Eight Merc." Then, "Olds..."
But "Cadillac" always made an impression, just elite.

Anytime someone asks what I'm runnin' in my '55 F100, I give 'em somethin' to respect.

"Forty-Eight Merc..." They say, "Whaaat?"

 

Tangerine Scream?

 

hey rob, thats a neat little motor.

Heres mine running

heres mine (mock up)

 

Not the baddest but I like it.
Going in a 48" Custom Areo Cp.

 

Well I know there are alot to choose from, me I like early olds's. Paul's got a couple nice ones and Goatroper builds some insane ones too. If I gotta go by cool points I've always liked Megan's Ranjo conversion, not a brute but more than enough to get down those Ohio back roads.

 

Don't know but kinda partial to Lippy's.....................

 

Paul here on the HAMB always has some really nasty motors. Littleman's 392 or the 327 in his truck are also pretty nasty. I know that Bass takes great pride in the machine work and everything else that goes into his engines from the 331 to the 265.

 

Specially for Groucho since he asked nicely.....

 

First I want to thank you Weasel for posting this MONSTER!!!!!!
Second Thank you Groucho for asking nicely...This thing is BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!

 

Dare to be different.

 

well mine is bad-ass in my book 1180hp with a 4sp hang-on

 

I thought his motors came from City Motor Supply?

 

I know some of you guys don't like a late model, but I don't give a shit.

I didn't own it but I sure as hell poured a bunch of sweat down her belly to make her preform for me.
P.S., I'd kick your ass with it Lippy... HeHe!!

 

It doesnt get any badder then this for a small block! It rules!!

 

Maybe not "Bad ass"..But a F'ing killer looking EARLY flatmotor!Just did this for a customer.

 

i think theyre all bad ass.

 

Wow, now a big block and 4 speed? How bout baddest motor with h pattern 4speed.

 

Ford Tank Engine?

 

its pretty convincing if you go for a little ride

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I just pissed in my pants

 

That's amazing. Thanks for posting!

 

Why thank you! I'm pretty found of it myself

This is wayyy too tough a decision to call. I've seen what a few of these HAMB guys don't show on the HAMB and it is pretty wicked to say the least!

 

That Tangerine scream gave me a stiffy.. I need a cold shower..

 

LOL. But JC the engine is bitchin, except it's in the WRONG place! It's not in the front where GOD (she) intended! Lippy

 

I got to put the hand up for the inliners...I know it ain't badass compared to some of you guys beautiful monsters but it's got the goods and gets along real nice.
225 slope 6...9.5.1 comp 3x40 DCOE webers....comp cam ...balanced...
1x Roller rocker...cover The inlet manifold is rare and has an interesting story attached. Some nasty mills on this thread.....love it.

 

Few less aces in sleeves after this game .....

 

Here is my candidate. This is a one of a kind M/T HEMI Pontiac bought from the original owner who bought it from Mickey in 1963.
Blower set up my Gene Mooneyham, Hilborn 4 port injected flowed by Dale Emory, Engle Roller, factory cast HEMI block, alum heads, magnesium intake, front cover, fuel pump extension, Tom Beatty blower drive, Jackson gear drive, 421SD crank, Crower billet rods, Arias pistons, Vertex magneto.
I just got it fired up last night! Sounds sweet.
An engine very similar to this won the US Nationals Top eliminator in 1962 beating Don Garlits in the Final. It has it all, ultra rare, so rare many have never heard of it, lots and lots of horsepower, a trure vintage nostalgic piece, a winning record and lots of visuals.
Here are a few file pictures



The motor went drag racing in the early-mid 60s, sand drags in the late 60s and into this Hondo flatbottom ski boat in 1972.
