I have a 283 with WAY too much shiny stuff on it for my liking. I saw somewhere that a guy used a modified diesel air cleaner to give a vintage look to the motor. I'm looking for pics/ideas on how to get back to a more vintage look.

Thanks

I'll have to find a picture, but it's still just a long block on a stand. mine's a 327 painted orange with cast aluminum intake, early Z/28-LT-1 valve covers, and a GM car dual snorkel air cleaner. The top is chrome and I want to powdercoat that low gloss black. I may paint the intake orange, but it's already buttoned up with ARP bolts. I guess if I need to take it off I will. I paint everything else as close to original as I can

Heres my 350 I just rebuilt...Original motor, rebuilt stock except for a Lunati cam & lifters. Had hardened seats put in the heads. Jet stage two Quadrajet 4MV. It's my work horse. Factory wood bed, heavy rear springs and overloads. 3:73 12-bolt Posi...Her name is "Belle"...She tows Sally to the drag strips, Norma Jean to the pastures that need mowin, and she also hauls a 1980 KZ-1000 ST- MKII around...Whenever I find a Hardley that thinks its fast...

Heres a link with a few more pics... https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=2732e9b194

Nice vintage 350. I like how you have hard line ran from the fuel pump to carb. Do you have a inline filter from the fuel pump and carb?

Fldawg · 12-07-2014, 11:48 PM

here's mine

68shortwide · 12-08-2014, 01:41 AM

I don't have pics but I do have the mental image that I'm goin for, 350 with triple deuce intake and 97s, finned valve covers and a set of side pipes. Gonna build one for a 30s ford I really want to build. Also, can never go wrong with a Cadillac motor and air cleaner lol good luck on your search, posts pics with what you decide on.

This is my absolute favorite version of an old school small block engine. It is a 355 that dynoed at 652HP on pump fuel and is still in my wife's 54 pick up!

67swb72klb · 12-09-2014, 07:39 PM

327 with a LT1 intake
