Engine code for this one.

Engine code for this one.

The 1st engine is likely a 225, but by juding the year of the A body in which it's installed it could also be a 170 if it's '69 or earlier and a 198 if it's '70-'72.

The 2nd engine is a Nissan L series 6. It could be a Z car L24 or L26, but I doubt it since the mechanical fuel pump mounting is blocked off. Since the oil pan is mid-rear sump I would say this is most likely a 280Z or 280ZX L28 rather than an 810/Maxima L24E.

Got any more? Maybe I should throw one out?

This one is easy if you know anything about older Chrysler products. Only one small block was dressed this way. It had different names if it was installed in a Dodge or a Plymouth. I want to know the displacement and one of the names used by Dodge or Plymouth, but you have to know which division used the name you come up with. If you can't name the division then come up with both names.

280ZX would be correct with L28. No manifold on the other side so I dont know if its turbo or not.

yeah its the 260/280 engine i remember the one we had had a turbo and it was very fast i miss it

RoadRaceJosh
11-29-2005, 05:22 PM
I doubt it's an L26 since all US L26s had carbs and a mechanical fuel pump. 280Zs and 280ZXs both used L28s. Turbo motors had bigger oil pumps so if you were really sharp you might be able to tell if that was a turbo motor or at least had a turbo oil pump.

Any guesses on the black and white V8? They were red with black valve covers, BTW.

340s never came with the finned alumium appliques on the valve covers or that air cleaner.

Older than the 340. Please note that there were no LA 318s with 4 bbls until 1977 or '78.

273s came in more than just Valiants. What I was looking for was Command 273 (Plymouth) or Charger 273 (Dodge). In any case it's the HP 235hp 273.

So why the Corvair engine? And what's that where the flywheel belongs?

Porsche never cast intake manifolds into the head. I can post some air cooled shit you'd never get, but it's pre WWII.

It's Honda, but it's hard to tell between a 400-4 and the other small 4s. Could be a 550 for all I know.

I'd originally guessed the Commando, but it got eaten with a forum reset or something. I figured you meant the one in the far right column of the link I posted. MOPAR motors aren't my thing, so I was just guessing and letting Google take care of the rest. :D


So why the Corvair engine?

It was one of the first cars I got to play with growing up. :) They're heaps.


And what's that where the flywheel belongs?

I assume that it's airplane (prop) related. People seem to use them in single prop planes these days.

A friend of mine likes Corvairs and Packards of all things. His current daily driver is a Corvair van. He's currently rebuilding the flathead straight 8 for his '53 Packard.

RoadRaceJosh

I renamed this picture too heavy as the engine stand this thing is bolted to isn't cutting it. My friend that does restoration work made his own super heavy duty engine stand for working on straight 8s. He's done several straight 8s this year and he'll do his Packard 327 next.

So what is this bad boy?

The Detroit was easy. This is a Cummins as you can see by the partially obscured blue C. Now what Cummins is it? I'll give you a hint it's about 1000hp (nearly 3000 ft/lbs of torque at 1800 RPM) and has a G suffix since it's configured for generator service. Other engines in the family are used in tug boats and mining equipment. So what enigine family does this beast belong? http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b226/2E151/IMG_4443.jpg

This engine was built in the US, was one of the first OHV V8s in post-war America and powered plenty of car and trucks. Ok, enough hints.
