If Chevy engines are so bad, how come 90% of Furd hot rods have Chevy engines?

Same reason a lot of guys run Ford 9" rears....because they're better

Can anybody i.d. that engine?

And man I would be a little hesitant to put that on a nice hard wood floor

*mrhino* · 07-14-2011, 07:40 PM

That is freaking kick ass. Im not entire sure what engine it is but it aint no chevy. maybe buick or olds something with a valley pan.

AirSpeed · 07-14-2011, 07:44 PM

Those poor Fix Or Repair Daily guys have serious issues with reality! They actually think a fard engine is better than a Chevy! Does Furd put drugs in their cars and trucks that will cause such crazy talk? It's truly bizarre that anyone would actually think that way!

Looks like a rover block. I'd take one home with me for sure.

I think that is a late model vortex engine either 5.3 or 4.8 you can tell by the water pump and timing cover set up

*mrhino* · 07-15-2011, 08:04 PM

No, its not a vortec.

Longhorn Man · 07-14-2011, 07:59 PM

they all build junk, and on ocasion, they all build something worth having.
The table is awesome
brand loyalty sucks

Rover block is based on aluminum V8 Buick from around 1965. It was a flop for Buick but Rover liked the idea and bought the rights.

Actually, Olds and Buick both used the aluminum 215 cubic inch V8, beginning with the introduction of the F-85 and the Special, for '61. I've seen the same aluminum engine mounted in a VW bug, with an adapter. Pontiac created the 326, from the 389 and used it in the '63 Tempest...with its rope-driveshaft (as it was called). Olds also had a turbo-charged version of the F85 called a JetFire. It was only available as a 2-dr hardtop. Buick didn't use the turbo version.

Rover bought the engine from GM after GM quit using it for the '64 models, when they introduced the new small v8 cast iron engines in the mid-sized bodies that were the F-85/Cutlass and the Special/Skylark. These were 300 cubic inch engines, which grew to the 330, 340 and 350 cubic inch displacements as time passed.

Rover also converted them from carburation to fuel injection, in the later years that they used it.

But, it wasn't a bad engine....was way better than the Corvair, even though I have owned a Spyder convertible.

I like the functionality of it as it doubles as wine storage and the way it contrasts with the richness of the wood cabinet to accentuate the color of the pillows and ... ahhh jeeez! I need to stop watchin HGTV!

Maybe a reality check is in order.If you want one by all means do one.Just do it out of a plastic mock up engine.That way the wife can move it when she wants to change the furniture around.No sense in her having to clean the carpet after moving the engine hoist around in the living/family room.
