show those engines
 

My truck, as many are, is sleeping throughout the winter months but never forgotten. Today I put a cleaner to the engine and compartment, and I thought I'd start a post to show all those motors and how spiffy they look. So let's see your engines and engine compartments.

Not real pretty, but it will lay down some rubber!

Re: show those engines
 

Here’s mine. Almost done

Re: show those engines
 

All I have Is the day I got it shot. In truth I have spent far more on this engine than I have on any engine I have ever owned in my life and the engine was given to me. I just hope I can run it by the nursing home and rap the pipes while my buddy is still alive to hear it.

When he gave it to me after calling to say that he had something for me that I needed. He is in the nursing home with dementia so getting this running is important right now.

I do have this intake that is about like a tunnel ram for a six banger.

Stock LS1 in my 56. Sanderson headers, etc..

Re: show those engines
 

That is a clean installation Carbuff382. That mirror finish firewall is nice too.

Re: show those engines
 

I picked up a 5.3L out of a 2008 GMC Sierra 4x4 from the salvage yard for the '57. Had it gone through, removed the DOD, new cam / lifters. Adding FiTech Injection and a new 4L-65. Should be quite peppy.

Should be transplanted shortly.

Re: show those engines
 

MARTINSR a crate motor.

Re: show those engines
 

A little blurry.

Re: show those engines
 

i'll bet it will push that crate down the road pretty well!


well with some wheels and a trans
maybe a frame and body too :D

Re: show those engines
 

after 10 years, i'm still impressed with this bad boy, best investment i made
this is the day i got it and had to bolt up the trans to this ramjet 350

Re: show those engines
 

LOL, not quite but yeah it looks like it. My brother built it and sent it to me.

Re: show those engines
 

5.3 Vortec in my 49.

Re: show those engines
 

Looking for a picture to put in this thread made me realize I don't have an engine picture since the truck has been done with the hood on, etc.

Oh well. Here's what I've got for the moment:

Re: show those engines
 

HP to weight ratio is AWESOME! This sucker kicks ass, fastest crate in town! :metal:

Re: show those engines
 

I've driven nearly 10,000 miles and I still enjoy opening the hood.

Re: show those engines
 

Heck yeah! :metal:

Re: show those engines
 

New and old. Lt-1, DOD delete and Lt-5 Cam

Re: show those engines
 

Yikes! Sounds like cubic dollars going into this engine.

We're all going to want to see the assembled engine and of course the truck it goes into - especially if you put that much effort into the chassis and body & paint.

Re: show those engines
 

This is a once in a lifetime thing for me. I bought this truck in 1980 when I got out of the Navy in SoCal. Chassis will be boxed and braced. 8.50 cage. Wilwood 12.88 disk 6/4 Nickle plated calipers. Secondary remote drag radiator w/electric pump, Primary radiator w/mech pump and electric fan. Electric P/S. Electric A/C w/remote condenser. Electric vacuum pump (brakes}. Mcleod RXT duel disk clutch. Mcleod hydraulic Throw out bearing. I have 128 available gear ratios for my rear end with my current 4;11 R/P that I can change in 10 minutes from 2:34 to 8:56. Gleason Torson diff. Bicknell torque arm. Pan hard bar on leaf springs. Front axle custom high strength tube 4" drop by Superbell on leaf springs. Dakota HDX gauges. Body Firethorn Red Pearl, fenders will be black. Rear fenders will be widened 2". Not a big fan of tubbing. Better stop now already too long. Thank you for your time.

Re: show those engines
 

The LT1 from the 48 green and black truck I sold and the white LS1 engine from my current build the 53 Suburban.

Thank you
Marc

Re: show those engines
 

Picture of my LS 6.0/4L80E test fitting in the 57 I am doing. Made 472 H.P. at the crank. Should be a fun ride with the C4 suspension. Steve

Re: show those engines
 

Might as well include small block, 327 of course.:metal:

Re: show those engines
 

Nice 327!! Love the look of an old school small block!

Re: show those engines
 

I know one thing, my 292 is getting gray paint to go along with all the finned aluminum. Jemenzcrusher's 235 solidified that plan.

The idea has always been for the unknowing eye to think it is a fully decorated older six.

Re: show those engines
 

Got to throw in something different.

Re: show those engines
 

Nothing fancy, but runs great. Vortec 5.7 out of a '98 Tahoe for my '56.

Re: show those engines
 

still work in progress but here's what I'm running :metal:

Re: show those engines
 

Mild mannered '74 454 built for low end torque and drivability

Re: show those engines
 

383 stroker here.

Re: show those engines
 

You're "throwing the book at her" lol. Can't wait to see the end result. I'd never do what you're doing but I also said I'd never do what I ended up doing to mine. I told myself I was building my post-retirement daily driver and it'd be cool and reliable (LIAR!) Oh it's cool and it's reliable but it's waay overbuilt to be a daily. But I admit I love fender-fondling her! Enjoy yours - we will from afar.

Re: show those engines
 

Hmmm, all this time and somehow I never realized your truck was a big block. Nice!
