So whats your favorite engine inc mods

[Battersea Boys]

Mine is the small block chevrolet wei-and intake ,holley carb,cal custom no name valve covers, hedman headers, liberal chrome, cal custom shovel air cleaner...............

[Stitch]

An L72 exactly as it comes from the factory .

[Briz]

Early hemi with a 6-71 and an Enderle hat. Preferably with original firepower valve covers.
Nothing else comes close.

[jsf55]

Mines a rover V8 ..... well you did say mods :D

[langysrodshop]

Buick Nailhead or Olds Rocket or Early Caddy.

[30psi]

Ford 427 cammer please

[Vinnie]

Early Pontiac 389 with 3x2 stock rochester and 4 speed manual...mmmmm

[Muroc]

Early Hemi for me, with Hilborn and Mag, not to much glitter just plenty of goer

[Battersea Boys]

As Arne (Ola's old partner) used to say "Four-Twenty Six, mit Super-Kompressor..."

Dunno what mine is - probably a 427 Side oiler with 3 x 2's...

[Morris460]

Ford 427 cammer please
X2

[kapri]

Daimler V8 , a symetrical thing of beauty :)

[JC.]

BRM V16.

No chance of ever owning one, though.

[carl jacko 56]

smallblock chev 327 /big block 427 chev rat...... classics:D

[32chris]

before mine would always have been some v8 or another,
more recently iv become interested in anything a bit "different", straight 6's and 8's in particular

ed (10mpg) came round a while ago in an ole Riley racing car he'd re-built for the owner and i fell in love with it, i wont post any pics of the car but have one of the engine.....

how cool would that look in a rod :cool:

[neilswheels]

409, but I couldn't afford that, so a 348 with tri power.

427 Cammer would be nice tho..

[Brizey]

A nicely dressed Flattie (no surprise there then), with the usual internal mods and dual 2 barrel carbs, or a sweet little dressed 4 banger motor. I like the challenge of extracting power? from the older motors.
I rather like the `tough` look a Nailhead has when equiped with dual 4 s too...

[modernpics.co.uk]

quite like theese
hardly practical or affordable

[Fatguyz]

always fancied something "oddball"....gotta be an V8 though.........blown caddy or multicarb olds......if i could go to a swap meet and find a pontiac motor with a 6/71 blower thats got 8 x 97 carbs on it......i'd sell a kidney and my right testicle....a bit like this one......

FG:D

[KICKSY]

Blown small block Chevy and the Hemi.:)

[mikecouch]

[Neil G]

Ford 302,good all round lump,strangely also a soft spot for a x-flow

[nelstrum]

my favorite engine would be a buick nail head ,but im building a 327 /365hp which is also one of my favorites..

[chris]

Blown Flathead
Blown Hemi
Buick Nailhead

All gorgeous!

[Paul Y]

Big Block with Hilborn Injectors.....

Or a 426 Max wedge with cross ram induction...

Or a Blown Hemi....

Or......

You get the Picture!

P.

[englishrodder]

Early Caddy, Nailhead, early Olds, Hemi (All varieties inc Daimler), 427 Cammer, Flatty, Offy 4 pot, .....anything so long as its NOT a small block and not mainstream.

Oh and any kind of highly stressed smokey multi cylinder 2 stroke :-) like a triple....Oh the smell of 2 stroke in the morning hmmm

[BIGJOB]

Im rather made up with the 540 talldeck in my racecar,but i reacon a 348/409 with tri- power is probably the most pleasing thing to look at -ever,B

[331hemi]

Oh I dunno. Perhaps a small block Chevy, 60's Cal custom covers, Enderle injection, Jackson timing cover, Vertex mag' and ZOOMIES.

[Taff]

235 chevy six, fenton exhausts, twin carters on a finned offie manifold.
maybe a 292 six with the same treatment
also quite fond of pre0crossflow 1500cc motors, revvy as all get out and relaible too

[roscobbc]

Even though I am currently having an affair with a big block chevy other favourite engines include 385 series BBF's (especially 429 SCJ's) flathead Caddies ('cos they are so mechanically quiet & develop max torque at about 1800 rpm) flathead Fords I guess too ('cos hot ones sound like nothing else) oddly AMC V8's ('cos they can be resonably economic) small block Fords ('cos pro-rata good money spent on them gets you further forward than most other engines) Daimler Hemi ('cos its 'our' home grown V8) Oh cobblers - any V8 except some of those crap sounding flat crank V8's!

Yeh,with a Wayne head and 3 97s

[BaronVonVVankel]

At considerable risk of being predictable.... My favourite engine would be a 26B out of a 787B Le-Mans 24hr car. No mods needed. :)

[J1MMY]

Anything that has more go than the Canadian Essex V6 in my truck:mad:

But seriously, (and I know this may go against the grain or won't appeal but...) if I ever get to build a 'rod I'd consider a turbo'd four pot. Namely a VW 1.8 one. Easy to build, strong, cheap and plentiful tuning parts and good power for the cc's without dipping into single figure economy so everyday usable. I'd love to see this used.

*Runs out of the room*

[edd brown]

im haveing an afair with a hemi ,426 blown

331 Cadidlyac
Nailhead Cubik
6 cylinder GMC or Chevy.

[plumpcars]

I love my L71 Chevy motor just the way the factory produced it.:)
The early hemi in my 34 always puts a big smile on my face but would love to give it a tidy up and a few 'HotHeads' items of choice as well. Would keep the valve covers though...:D

[drag914]

425ci Buick Nailhead. Eelco forged flat-top pistons, Kenne Bell KB425 cam, 2x4 Offenhauser hi-rise inlet and two 750s on top.

Oh. Now I need a tissue :eek:

[randrhotrodimports]

Blown Chrysler Hemi

[Shedster]

The earlier the better, but any engine made before about '69 gets my vote - car, bike, tractor, stationary whatever. Too many to have a favourite, but I wouldn't mind this in the front of the Shedster...

60 degree V12, just over ten litres, seven roller bearing crank, around 300bhp, and 143 mph - all of it waay back in 1924... Yikes!

[Dr.Dee]

Ford 427 cammer please
