What is the COOLEST Looking V8 you would have in your HotRod

Oldsmobile ......1966.

 

Like this....

 

Jack Roush has a warehouse full of one off, oddball, outrageous engines, most of them V8's. I think its in Livonia(sp). Any of you Michigan folks talk your way in and give us an online tour?

 

yah thats it... the rockette. my bad, thanks

 

Love my Ramjet.

 

Another shot of a repco with headers on the low side .....

 

I think it was the 215 Olds version of the Buick.

Pics of the Engine and Parts.

 

YES! I second that.

 

Yes , metalshapes was only 3 Liters for F1 class in the day .....

 

This,

 

gotter lover "W' engines

 

Lotta cool engines in this thread. But the best in my book is a Flathead Ford.

 

HEMI,S HAVE BECOME A BORE BUT SOME OF THE Y-BLOCKS POSTED ARE COOL

 

I will stick with my old Caddy

 

Only if you don't have one..or two!

That is wicked looking Jim !!!

 

caddy flatty all the way
a guy in town has one in his 31 coupe

 

THAT is NOT a cross ram.....THIS IS a crossram.....and YES, I HAVE ONE!!!

 

If I had a fenderless hotrod, it would be this Hemi Pontiac. But since my cars have fenders and hood it would be a shame to cover this up .

 

2 immediately spring to mind as " you ain't gonna pull up next to another one" combos... 1st is a max wedge 413 with that crazy old crossram intake and the other would be a dual quad 409. i just like to be different i guess. case in point, i'm puttin a polymotor in my T roadster. why? because i managed to get a runner in trade for a chainsaw!! whaddameye gonna do? not run it?!

 

Actually, Tom ran an SBC with ultra rare Moser OHC 4 valve heads.

 

Sure do, and you got my dream engine. Blown 348/409!! Awesome!! Thanks for the pic.

 

I definately dig the looks of those Chrysler engines with that wacky cross ram intake system. I'd love to see one in a fendeless/hoodless rod. But if I had the money I'd probably build up a Buick nail head. Something about those upright valve covers looks so cool.

 

W's are my choice. Joe Mondello had a couple of sets of heads he did back in the late '60s sitting on the shelf in the shop and didn't think he'd ever get rid of them. I kindly relieved him of the excess. ... No they're not for sale

 

Coolest I saw, I think was A Cadillac or Lincoln where the multiple carbs were on the outside of a flathead V-12 engine. Looked like madness in motion..................

 

I'm happy with the way my old 427 Chevy dump truck engine is looking.

I got your dump truck engine. Is that aluminum polished, or chromed cast? Looks like a great down payment for a beach condo.

 

Crossram...............did someone say Crossram??

 

Bare cast-iron, ground and sanded.
