Hopped up jeeps and others

Hopped up jeeps and others
Yep - I have as Valentine... The arrows are the bomb! :) As well as the bogey counter! I have many stories where I knew there were multiple targets, yet those with 'normal' detectors did not! :) Its great that you can send it back each year for a retuning and a firmware update! --> https://store.valentine1.com/upgrades/

Saved my :censored: many times! Unfortunately - even as good as it detecting laser - your toast if they light you up... :(

Thinking about stepping up to a jammer - but most are ineffective on new lasers... :( http://www.laserveil.com/laser/jammers/buyers-guide/2006/

Some guy on craigslist i think in my town is selling a 429 SCJ for cheap like 500 bucks and this kid i know is selling a 11 sec 5.0 mustang with a 383 stroker because all real people know that chevy engines dominate those ford engines!
 
I quote "The ford 427 SOHC, was built to recapture NASCAR dominance from the Chrysler 426 Hemi engine. But after protests by Chrysler Corp., This was the only engine EVER banned from NASCAR."

Why cause they was scared 657 horsepower (490 kW) at 7,500 rpm & 575 ft/lbs of torque @ 4,200 rpm.

No mention of chevy, just chrysler and ford, LOL.

Since it was banned, the 427 ended up in drag racing and was a bad mother (shut yo mouth).

If you ever get a chance to hear one run do it :drool:

I have heard a guy say that on pinks before. He had a mustang with a chevy motor. He said the only way to make my ford go fast was to put a chevy motor in it.:D

Y'all ought to be in stand up at "Caroline's".
I'll have to line up with Brock on this one.
"FORD" is the only U.S. manufacturer to win the "World Manufacturers Cup"& beat "Ferrari".
"Ford" did it in convincing fashion with a 1,2,3, finish to boot.
Ford made history when it clinched the 1965 World Manufacturers Championship for the United States and Shelby American in Reims, France — on July 4, no less. (For a new look at the behind-the-scenes drama of the Carroll Shelby-led campaign by Ford Motor Co. to defeat the Ferrari juggernaut in the Sixties, read Go Like Hell, Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at LeMans by A.J. Baime.

That was just 1 of 4! At that.:eek:
 
Not that I'm a Ford fan, but it was my first vehicle.

No 440 or 426 Hemi or chevy 427? I'm a car nut as well, but you gotta give some love to the Mopar guys! ;)

Hey Brock, y'all have to share the love. The Small block Ford was the only domestic gas V8 to race at the"Indy500". Also tore up the road race tracks on both sides of the atlantic & beat "Ferrari"!;)
 
Alright my list was getting long but ok.
I like these too:
Dodge/Chrysler 440
Dodge/Chrysler 426
Chrysler 426 Max Wedge
Any of the Firepower, Red Ram, or Fire Dome hemi's
Chevy's 427 i like but it's not a favorite

My bad on missing the Ford small blocks.
The boss, CJ, cleavor, etc.
Oh the 351 Cobra Jet, had valves you could suck a cat through, LOL.

My motor for a '68 Mustang would be a 302 with Ausi. 351 2V heads.
It's be sweet. Why a kinda boss 302, just cause it's different and cool.

Btw: quoted from a mustang mag.

"When building a Clevor Ford small-block, the 351C-4V head is the best choice only if you're reaching for high revs. This head has huge ports and closed, high-compression wedge chambers. The larger ports work best at high rpm because that's where we have air velocity, which makes torque. Closed chambers yield higher compression ratios, which means power. The 351C-2V head is designed for low-rpm street use. It's perfect for a street driver because the smaller ports provide air velocity at lower engine speeds. Again, air velocity makes torque. The larger, open chambers yield a lower compression ratio for use with today's pump gas. With the right piston, you can achieve 10.0:1 compression with this head.

The Australian Cleveland head offers the best of both worlds--smaller ports (like the 351C-2V head) for low-end torque and closed wedge chambers (like the 351C-4V head) for power increases."
 
If you notice most motors listed above I like have unique qualities.
The AMC's for the forged internals.
Nailheads cause they are just cool, perfect rat rod engine.
Pontiac cause the stump pulling TQ.
Ford build's just all around good motors, racing, drag, etc. IMO
Chevy is where it's at for HP the 283 with its 1 hp per cubic inch.
Flat heads again cool factor.
There's other stuff that makes them unique but they are my fav. for what I like.

Disclaimer:
The above is just my opinion, not fact so like what you like and for your own reasons, LOL.

1970 Buick 455 - 510 lb ft of torque @ 2800 RPM - another stump puller! :) And it weight a good hundred or so pounds less then the 454! :)
 
Overhead Cam (OHC-6)

A rare performance engine

Made in the USA




The OHC-6 design was adopted by Pontiac in the 1966 model year. The block was based on the Chevrolet Straight-6, but had block and head castings unique to the OHC. Both head and block were cast iron; only the large cam carrier/valve cover was aluminum. The engine featured a Single OverHead Cam and was the base engine in the Pontiac Tempest.
The Pontiac OHC-6 engine shared internal dimensions with the standard 230-cubic-inch (3.8 L) Chevrolet I6 block. The OHC head design put it in the avante garde of Detroit engineering. The single camshaft was supported by journals within the aluminum valve cover: no separate bearing shells were used. The cam was driven by a glassfiber-reinforced cogged rubber belt, instead of the usual metal chain, making it state of the art for the time - and very quiet. Valves were opened with finger followers (centered under the cam) that pivoted at one end on stationary hydraulic adjusters. The oil pump, distributor drive and fuel pump drive were not within the block, but were handled by an external jackshaft in an aluminum housing that bolted to the right side of the block. The jackshaft was driven by the rubber timing belt. The head had a single port face (exhaust and intake were both on the left side) and the valve stems were strongly tilted towards the left. This engine was used on the 1966 through 1969 Tempest and Le Mans and the 1967 through 1969 Firebird.
A high-performance version, called the Sprint, was an option. The Sprint featured high-compression pistons, a hotter cam, dual valve springs, a split/dual exhaust manifold, a better coil and utilized the then new Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor. It was the first American high performance six cylinder engine since the demise of the Hudson Hornet.

Pontiac Overhead Cam Six engine


The Pontiac OHC-6 engine ended production with the 1969 models.
Like other Pontiac engines of the era, it was not available in Canada; Canadian Pontiac automobiles came with the Chevrolet OHV six instead.
230

The 230 OHC-6 engine was produced in 1966 and 1967. Power output was rated at 165 bhp (123 kW) from a displacement of 230-cubic-inch (3.8 L). The high performance Sprint version produced 207 bhp (154 kW).
250

1968 Pontiac OHC 250 1bbl


The 250ci Engine (4.1L) replaced the 230ci (3.8L) from 1968 to 1969. The base engine produced 175hp while the Sprint versions that came with the automatic Transmission were rated at 215hp. While the versions with manual Transmission received a hotter camshaft which boosted the horsepower ratings to 230hp.

The 6 is cool. But then again I have also done a port and polish on a weedeater.
Why? If you have to ask you wouldn't understand anyway....

I hear you.
My buddy Rick had a "Firebird Sprint" with the OHC 230 hp in high school, hell I hot rodded the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l in the wife's Jeep, Port & polished the head, hot cam & kit, dual roller timing chain, milled head, balanced rotating assembly, 6into2 headers,MSD 6AL, but I have to have a V8! Rick saw the light, he bought a "Mustang Cobra"!:eek:
