Creative Power Plants
I am really curious about how many 60-66 rides there are on this forum that sport something OTHER than the typical small block chevy.
![]() I happen to be a Pontiac engine fan.... ![]() ![]() How about some photos of other creative engine powerplants?????????? ![]() ![]() So what is out there? Buick? Cadillac? Mopar? Or even the "F" word.. ![]()

Re: Creative Power Plants
An LS2 is DEFINATELY not a typical small block...

Re: Creative Power Plants
It's nowhere near finished and won't be for awhile but I'm doing a multi-carbed LS swap with a T56 six speed in my '66. Will have four two-barrel Weber's. I bought a cheap 5.3 for mock up but I eventually want to build a destroked LS2 using a 4.8 crank, hollow valve LS3 heads, with a solid roller cam, bigger pushrods, shaft rockers, etc, to make it rev to ~8500 rpm.
![]() Will look like similar to this.

Re: Creative Power Plants
Pic's dont do it justice. It's still in mock up right now and I'm still working on making it fit. It intrudes on the passenger compartment a LOT. But when done I think it will be one for the books.

Re: Creative Power Plants
Sure do, I did a little custom work on it. I didn't want the motor moved forward so with a big block that ment the firewall had to move back.

Re: Creative Power Plants
I have a 2.2l SEFI 4 cylinder in mine. People who say that a 65 is too heavy are just plain wrong, it's peppy and drives just like a normal truck, in fact I have had a 2.2l 5 speed s10 and I think this is slightly faster. It won't win any street races but that's not what it's for anyway.
