would a 426 look to big in a 33 pu?

I was wanting to get some input on what you guys think about this. Does a 426 hemi look to big sitting in a 30-34 ford pu? The only thing i could find was a coupe with one and it looks pretty good from the angle the picture was taken. I just wondered if it would dewarf the truck? If anyones got a picture please post it.


thanks

 

Yes, it would look big

You say that like it's a bad thing

 

Uhh...too big? you're joking, right?

 

Who cares? The spark plugs are right where God intended them to be. That's all that matters.

Do it. I said DO IT!

 

Wait a minute! Is this a trick question like a woman asking "Do these pants make my **** look fat?"

 

A motor in a hot rod being too big... is that possible? It would only be cooler in my opinion.

Do it. DO IT!!!

 

the engine isn't too big, the truck is too small. if you put in a 318 it would be perfect.

 

small, light vehicle + huge amounts of power = A real hot rod!!!

 

it's like she said - it's never too big.

 

Lets just swap for my flathead and call it even.

 

NO ! HRP

 

Yes. Isn't that the point? Remember, if some is good then more must be better, and too much is just about right.

 

The starter and the oil pump really get in the way on a big block mopar. Header clearance isn't an issue, because the ports point down instead of out to the side like other motors. With a remote oil filter and cross steer it would work out pretty good. David

 

Ever see Big Al? It was a 34 sedan with an Allison V-12 and that wasn't too big. Made for a funny place to drive from but that was good, too.

 

here's one i shot at bowling green

 

NO way!

DO it if you got one!

 

I think the combination of a Allison in a '34 2dr aka "Big Al" answered once and for all the question about an engine being too big for a particular car. Build it, post pictures and ask the question again.

if it'll fit in an A then it'll fit in the '33

 

or even an early bird

 

but they look right at home in an early sixties mopar

 

You're joking, right? That's kinda like saying "My ***** is too big and it makes it hard to ride a bike. What should I do?"

A hoodless 30's Ford pickup would be the perfect display for that engine. I'd like to see it painted orange with black valve covers and a stock air cleaner, just like it was pulled from a Coronet last week, would look real sweet.

 

Uhhhhhhhhhhh, no.

Yes, it'd be too big.
And 36Ds would be too big on my wife,as well.

Send that motor to me....and I will send you a nice SBC....!! I do it all the time

 

What he said, and ship me the 426. lol Nope do it.

 

Well then everybody agrees...that makes it anonymous. Post pics of the first 200 ft burnout.

 

Too big!?!?!? Bite your tongue! Sheesh.....

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA that's great....

Whitey tighties and some hot pants, I'd say.

 

A GOOD friend of mine had a 426 hemi in a Model A coupe....
I thought it looked just right.
The big block ford that's in there now looks kinda small in comparison.
