Lets see your motors, Stock to wild
 

Since we can put just about anything under the hood, seems these trucks have the largest variations of power plants.

Start it off with the ubiquitous Small Block.

Aftermarket block and heads, all Iron, from the boys up at DART. 427 cubic inches of full roller, parts breaking, shenanigan inducing, race gas burning terror.

Pretty boring really with just a single Holley and no power adders. However I moved the battery under the bed and built a giant top tank aluminum radiator that cleaned up the area.

So lets see yours.:metal:

Here's my 290 horse 350 ft/lbs torque GM crate motor. Nothing too fancy, just some finned acessorries and gold paint

Re: Lets see your motors, Stock to wild
 

Simply stock, original 283, intake, Rochester 2bbl, valve covers & the old oil bath air cleaner. Some might consider it boring but, it works for me!

Re: Lets see your motors, Stock to wild
 

Very nice, it speaks to me:cool:

I'm not knocking the chrome goodies but I have to agree, I had all the chrome stuff in my '72 GMC engine bay many years ago but in a northern climate, it did not hold up, and looked like crap after a couple of winters. So I decided to keep it stock on my '62 build, less polishing to worry about.


Wow! very nice detail on the 283! I've been holding off on adding those 283 valve cover decals in hopes of custom making some "Powered by B/A Velvet 98 gasoline" decals to go with my B/A shop truck theme, but when I see the proper 283 decals like yours it makes me reconsider.

Re: Lets see your motors, Stock to wild
 

I like the updated engines sitting in the engine bays, but those original engines are freakin' SWEET when all painted up nice and pretty. Nothing better, in my opinion.
That said, I have a 454 on a stand in the garage waiting to go in to my 66 C20.

Those other motors are beautiful...here is mine. Built it myself.

383 Stroker, 9.8:1 compression. Measly 420 hp but WAAYYYY more power than I'll ever need...

First photo is where I started...second photo is where I am at currently.

Notice, I have the brake booster bracket from Captain Fab at the top of the second picture...he does nice work and it's an easy bolt up for those who want to go to disc brakes...

Re: Lets see your motors, Stock to wild
 

Here's the 383 I should be getting in my truck this summer ... specs below pics ... headers and oil pan have been swapped out for different ones ...

Here's what I started with and where I am now. 350 HO crate with 330hp and Edelbrock EPS manifold and other goodies. Still a work in progress.

Re: Lets see your motors, Stock to wild
 

Temporary 5.3 for mock up. Will eventually be a LS2 with LS3 heads. Intake is from Inglese with 48mm Weber IDA's that I'll swap out for 51mm Empi EPC's. Valve covers are from a 283, reshaped to fit the oval LS valve cover flange.

Re: Lets see your motors, Stock to wild
 

Thanks for the plug Tom :)

That engine bay is looking very nice :thumbs:

In fact there are several good looking engines in this thread :)

Re: Lets see your motors, Stock to wild
 

High compression 355 in sheep's clothing awaits its ram air filter assembly. Corvette ram horns mate to 2.5" exhaust pipes with Brockman's headers.
