  1. Oh man, thats weak! My 1.8 has half the displacement, and make the same power (stock) + I can pick it out of the engine bay by myself. Thats worthy of making this list.

  2. I had 70 coronet I ran the hell out of it. Drove for Denver to Miss State in 24 hours in 1974. I give $550 for it. The values sound like they where going to come of the top of the more. My neighbor who found it. Thor hi to buy a can of transmission fluid. When we pick it out I rode around the corner and poured it in the motor. By the time I home the values were quit.

  3. Love to see more vintage engine builds whether it be a straight 6 or a flat head V8. Seeing to much modern engine builds/swaps. I have nothing against modern engines its just too common and I love seeing classic engines being brought back to life and running

  4. Wow guys I have not been this excited to see such a sweet build! The last time I saw this type of build is when I accidentally found a 331 hemi, it looked just as crusty, and hopeless looking uh but was worse, in less than 3 hours, I was absolutely and totally convinced it was TOAST! And the only thing left was the heads which were saved and rebuilt and succesfully used again with good results, uh but only the valve covers, those heads and the intake, and the crank. And when I was done, I sold the whole wreck for $300.00 which of course you know was insignificant, but unfortunately my block was just far less than worthless, because as Im sure you already dont have to guess the block had rusted yep all the WAY clean thru the cylinders, and about 90% thru the water jackets, and I was very saddened but not at all surprised water and iron just aren't 2 forgiving Period! And my short ass build was over in less than a heart beat! WAH WAH CRY BABY WAH!!!

  5. Can't help but have a huge smile with all these straight 6 and slant 6 builds. My face hurts from it. Of course I'll take any of these engines. 6 or 8 plugs makes no difference to me. That 292 turbo dyno numbers blew my mind. Big fan of the 292 and the 300. Makes me want to get both and jabe some fun. Thanks guys for all your excellent knowledge and keep em coming.

  6. N a you will never see over 200 HP at wheels with a preimium rebuild
    with a turbo and good jetting might get 300 at wheels on a stock long block blueprinted

  7. Flathead's I race go kart and everyone uses bores and stroked honda or tillotson now but last seen about a year ago I took a 1986 limited flathead Briggs and Stratton from 8th to 2nd in the open class here in west TN there were people lined up to talk to me because I came from the rear I had nothing to say but talk to MR Walker he the guy helping me put the kart on the stand it belong to him I had a catastrophic failure on my non stroker open so chose to run the flatty and it's a diffrent kind of power

  8. When a friend bought a barracuda 1960's bubble back slant 6 window put duel quads . Bored 2 over full cam don't know hp. But he took a lot of $$$$$$$ on 8mi in Detroit. Wheels always cam off the ground I 2nd gear.

  9. Come help me fix my ford 300 six in my 1986 F150 lol. I have my dream truck in mya garage for a year still sitting. I bought it from the PO and got hoodwinked took two days to limp home from VA to SC.
