Favorite Chev engine of all time - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jesse 67 c-10 · 05-30-2002, 12:51 PM

There's lots of polls goin round but hey they're fun! I'll try to put the most common ones 6's, sb, bb. There are others, 265, 409bb, 305 v-6, 302, 383 but there are only 10 options. I think the 327 is the one for me, but I just got one!
Have fun!
Jesse

Low69CST · 05-30-2002, 12:59 PM

no 302????

Jesse 67 c-10 · 05-30-2002, 01:01 PM

I spose I could have put 302 instead of 305, don't know if I can change it though
Jesse

ckhd · 05-30-2002, 01:25 PM

Where's the 409? and the 307? What about the 348?

69sixpackbee · 05-30-2002, 02:10 PM

How about the run that runs?

Pont · 05-30-2002, 04:24 PM

I gotta say, the dual quad 409 was definitely bad in its day. So many good engines built by Chevy. The die-hard, high reving small block, the shear torque and power of a healthy big block, oh my, I'm getting a semi...........

Ok, I'll take the 425hp/427. Nice nice nice!

kevins67gmc · 05-30-2002, 04:33 PM

small block has to be a 283 or 327 big block 402

**BIG ORANGE** · 05-30-2002, 05:59 PM

I've had good service with the BB402 engines but I do like a 4bolt main 350 for a daily driver.

Mitzki5 · 05-30-2002, 07:43 PM

I like the 454! Love those cubic inches!

Tyler_69C10 · 05-30-2002, 07:57 PM

I voted for the 327

Burlinator · 05-30-2002, 08:22 PM

427 all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Desert Rat** · 05-30-2002, 08:23 PM

A stock daily cruiser for reliability,mileage etc.SIT DOWN GUYS My favorite engine is actually the 283 2bbl.
2nd runner up would be a 402 good motors!!!

bbs1965 · 05-30-2002, 08:40 PM

327 350 hp 4 speed 66 chevy II with a 4.11 posi on 8 inch radials

pure sideways action.

Nothing is as fun as a high winding 327.

unless of course you got a bullit proof big block LOL!!!.

I vote 327 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hotrodhenryj · 05-30-2002, 08:49 PM

Here is my vote!!!

HvyChevy454 · 05-30-2002, 08:56 PM

...speak softly... and carry a big block...454!

woodmancfh · 05-30-2002, 09:41 PM

Small Block-400
Big Block-454
The only substitute for cubic inches is more cubic inches.

mikep · 05-30-2002, 10:31 PM

I'm going to go for the 1967 corvette with the 427/435 horsepower tripower big block, dual disk clutch and rock crusher 4 speed. Sound about right? Someday I shall win the lottery.

Blue_71 · 05-31-2002, 12:05 AM

haha, no 305s when i voted.... i hate them danged things!!! i voted 400!

Jesse 67 c-10 · 05-31-2002, 12:12 AM

Forgot bout the 307, just say that 305 on the list is a 307, I couldn't get them all though! there's the 265 sb, 230 l6, 235 l6, those first bbs, 409/348, 4.3 v-6, Lt-1, new chev v-8's, 366, big gmc v-6s and the v-12, could go on and on!
Jesse

O'l Buck · 05-31-2002, 02:11 AM

I voted for the 327..... only because there was no option for the 348

jostrans68 · 05-31-2002, 02:41 AM

My 64 ss impala's 409 would be My Fav...... got to love that Motor and the 4 speed.. it was a head turner...

tbolt427 · 05-31-2002, 05:29 AM

327 L79 is my pick but my next best has to be thee 427 L88

Bram · 05-31-2002, 10:30 AM

350 all the way baby!!!

Jesse 67 c-10 · 05-31-2002, 12:15 PM

Just as I figured, no votes for the 305! lol, Figured the 350 would be first though.

70 Jimmy · 05-31-2002, 02:19 PM

409, 348, 502,454,427,350,327,283 in that order. Nostalgia comes first (probably due to age) then qubes/stroke.
