Hint: It's BAAAD!

That looks like one of those Ford pieces.

Hunk of tin, piece of board, put them together you got a FORD!

ElGracho · 05-20-2003, 12:40 AM

Boss 429. Do I win prize?

brad2 · 05-20-2003, 01:02 AM

Try this one

messed up c-10 · 05-20-2003, 01:45 AM

looks like a 426 Hemi. Hemi's are cool but very expensive.

brad2 · 05-20-2003, 01:48 AM

Nope. You are not even close.

ElGracho · 05-20-2003, 01:56 AM

Ford 427 SOHC

brad2 · 05-20-2003, 08:33 AM

Still not close.

BigRed · 05-20-2003, 08:50 AM

Am I blind? I see the coil but I can't find the distributor??

84Stepper · 05-20-2003, 10:55 AM

The distributor is there man just look a lil closer. Yep that is definately one of those ford big block engines from the mustang.

Duh, I guess to answer my own question, I am blind!

BigRed · 05-20-2003, 11:35 AM

Is it an AMX 390??

AirMale · 05-20-2003, 12:12 PM

engine 2= early ford flathead?

TIMSPEED · 05-20-2003, 12:15 PM

The motor I posted is a Boss 429. As far as the other one, is it a Side Oiler?

Tom · 05-20-2003, 03:57 PM

For the second pic, both ford and dodge motors arent even close, so its either a chevy big block with aftermarket hemi heads or else its a toyota v8

TIMSPEED · 05-20-2003, 04:13 PM

It can't be a Chevy motor, cuz the distributor is in the front. Gotta either be a hemi or a boss.

Except all the Hemi motors have the distributor on the other side.

True. From where the distributor is, makes me think it's a Buick. But it doesn't look like any buick motor I've ever seen

RockHQ · 05-20-2003, 04:26 PM

The second engine has cylinder heads that resemble the extremely rare ARDUN ohv racing cylinder heads designed by Zora and his brother Yura Arkus-Duntov a looong time ago.
Or a variant of the ardun heads. My guess it's a ford flathead from the 1940's?????

bpmcgee · 05-20-2003, 04:49 PM

Isn't that about the right distributor position for a cadillac?

Only seen one, so my memory might be bad.

brad2 · 05-20-2003, 09:52 PM

Tom is the man

I saw that motor at the Street Rod Nats this year. It is in a T bucket roadster. It is a Toyota Hemi V8! I recall an article awhile back discussing them. I think they were only put in Japanese market cars. I could be wrong on that though. It does kind of look like a flathead with Ardun heads. It did not dawn on me until it was mentioned.
