<< OK a few older chevy moters.
283, 302*, 305, 327**, 350, 409, 427, 454

* One BAD ASS MOTER (Basicaly a 327 block with a shorter stroked 283 crank)!
** Second best IMO (and used to be a LOT of good aftermarket stuff made for them) >>

265 was the predecessor to the 283.
 


<< Ford started off with a 221 in a '62 Falcon.... it was that cubic inch displacement because that was the limit of Indy cars. It went to a 260 and the a 289....then a 302 and a highly modified 302 Boss....after a higher deck it went to a 351 and ther were 3 very different motors there which includes a 400 that is still a popular motor today...and that's just the 'Small Blocks!'

Ford had a flathead V8 from at least 1932 until 1953. The 1954 Ford (and Mercury) got an overhead V8 in 1954 that was based on the 1952 Lincoln engine.

Yusta see a Sunbeam with a 260 on my way to a job I had in HS. Sweet. >>

Sunbeam Tiger (Alpine) - Nice!

<< I like V6's myself. 🙂 >>



cool, is that Grand National(right?) yours? what's your best ET in it? 🙂 >>



It's an 86 Regal T-Type, that the prev. owner painted all black, and slapped on GN rims. It has the same powertrain though. My best time, before I added any performance items, basically stock, was 13.8, I forget the MPH, that was over 4 years ago, I plan on going to the track again soon..

Shame shame! You forgot 396*

It's nice to see the occasional "rice-free" thread 😀

Remember when you never saw "Type R" stickers, but instead Crane Cams, Edelbrock, Moroso...?

How's this for odd: For a brief time (until I overrevved it.. ) I ran a Ford 302 with 289 rods (slightly longer than stock 302) with a flat-top Chevy TRW piston (flycut for valve reliefs). Why do this? Increase the rod/stroke ratio, and dramatically reduce the weight of the piston. This little motor was amazing, and it's too bad the idea never really caught on.
