[size=+2]Pontac, ...err, BITCH![/size] My ride was born with a 389, but I still had to step her up to a modified GTO plant , requiring welding up my own motor and trans mounts -and that still ain't enough. Mickey Thompson knew how to go faster than anyone else. What's your problem? [size=+2]BITCH![/size] FWIW, I'm Rick james...

I'd have to agree on the flathead! Especially if it's dressed & includes a blower. Best engine award last year out of 3334 cars/trucks at the Pumpkin Run.
what about an early cadillac 331 of 365, my 35 has the later, Merc flathead for the next project jobcorp

I've got a '56 337 Desoto Hemi in a... Desoto!! And Your not gonna believe this but I'm running a Buick Straight 8 in a '50 Buick!!!
I am running a 1967 Pontiac 230ci inline six in my 53 Pontiac, but not an ordinary inline as mine is one of the Overhead Cam units from in a Firebird. My hotrod (28 A sedan) I am building now, to be different, will also run one of these motors tho it will be a screamer when i am thru with it.
I'm rollin hard with a 1.3L gas monster AND a sewing machine motor in my PRIUS!http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif No seriously, I have a 59ab flattie waiting to be rebuilt for my T.
Well, I'm still running the "original" caddy 390. in the 60 cad. Original is in quotes for a good reason. It's been bored to a 405. Have a mild cam, re-jetted carter(edelbrock) carb, and it's pushin 400hp and 500ft lbs at the crank. I just replaced the original mechanical fuel pump with a high flow mechanical fuel pump. The original glass bulb filter has no more filter, but I've got an inline at the tank. With the new high flow pump, I don't have any issues running much higher rpm's, which is also possible via Ignitor ignition and bigger spark plug gaps. Thing runs like a TOP. I'm very soon gonna be towing a 30 foot camper from Cary Illinois to Wilmington, NC, and I've got no worries with the engine.
Mine, a 230 flathead six in my '50 Plymouth. Just got the exhaust on yesterday, and still grinning ear to ear... Pete
I run original 4 in my '29 Tudor. I's .030" over, modern internals in distributor, leakless pump and I just bolted on a new Brumfield hi-comp head. It may get also an intake and header changes...
