TJGoSurf 11-29-2005, 10:19 AM Start off with something easy: http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/8205/dart61bu.jpg Ryosuke91t 11-29-2005, 10:51 AM d-510? TJGoSurf 11-29-2005, 10:53 AM If you know the slang name for it that would work better. I dont remember the engine code. MrBob 11-29-2005, 11:12 AM Slant Six TJGoSurf 11-29-2005, 11:35 AM ^ wow, I was begining to think no one knew. TJGoSurf 11-29-2005, 11:44 AM http://www.cin.ne.jp/~kgc10spl/engine2.jpg Engine code for this one. RoadRaceJosh 11-29-2005, 03:20 PM http://www.cin.ne.jp/~kgc10spl/engine2.jpg 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? RoadRaceJosh 11-29-2005, 04:17 PM http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b226/2E151/engine.gif 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. TJGoSurf 11-29-2005, 04:39 PM 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.

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? 280ZX would be correct with L28. No manifold on the other side so I dont know if its turbo or not. GSL-T2 11-29-2005, 05:11 PM 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. TJGoSurf 11-29-2005, 05:34 PM Plymouth 340? RoadRaceJosh 11-29-2005, 06:19 PM Plymouth 340? 340s never came with the finned alumium appliques on the valve covers or that air cleaner. TJGoSurf 11-29-2005, 06:56 PM It was my best guess. RoadRaceJosh 11-29-2005, 11:05 PM Older than the 340. Please note that there were no LA 318s with 4 bbls until 1977 or '78. wingsfan 11-30-2005, 10:09 AM It's a 273 from a Valiant Gotta love search engines http://www.angelfire.com/pa/66valiant/engine.html How about this oldie? burnoutking999 11-30-2005, 11:04 AM It's a 273 from a Valiant Gotta love search engines http://www.angelfire.com/pa/66valiant/engine.html How about this oldie? tucker? wingsfan 11-30-2005, 11:10 AM tucker? Not quite that old. Same rear engined layout though. MrBob 11-30-2005, 12:37 PM corvair koopz 12-01-2005, 12:21 AM Either a corvair or a Porsche engine being aircooled and all. koopz 12-01-2005, 12:29 AM Name this engine Hint its out of a bike, name the bike it came out of and its displacement. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v607/koopz/engine.jpg Manntis 12-01-2005, 03:38 AM an easy one as engines go, but can you name the car its in? http://www.entermyworld.com/custom/lcb.jpg underside (showing mostly transmission) http://www.entermyworld.com/custom/lcg.jpg if only all conversions were as clean as this one! burnoutking999 12-01-2005, 07:43 AM mr2? pontiac car? whats that name agian, not the sunfire but ...FIERO. thats it! wingsfan 12-01-2005, 08:46 AM corvair Bingo. Dad used to have one rotting in the back of the garage. Damn things would leak oil like a sieve. Enough to make any wankel proud. :) MrBob 12-01-2005, 10:42 AM an easy one as engines go, but can you name the car its in? http://www.entermyworld.com/custom/lcb.jpg underside (showing mostly transmission) http://www.entermyworld.com/custom/lcg.jpg if only all conversions were as clean as this one! Its in a Delorean, but I cheated. MrBob 12-01-2005, 11:04 AM Name this engine Hint its out of a bike, name the bike it came out of and its displacement. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v607/koopz/engine.jpg I think its a Honda CB750. RoadRaceJosh 12-01-2005, 02:36 PM 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. Josh It's a 273 from a Valiant Gotta love search engines http://www.angelfire.com/pa/66valiant/engine.html How about this oldie? RoadRaceJosh 12-01-2005, 02:37 PM It's a 273 from a Valiant Gotta love search engines http://www.angelfire.com/pa/66valiant/engine.html How about this oldie? So why the Corvair engine? And what's that where the flywheel belongs? RoadRaceJosh 12-01-2005, 02:38 PM Either a corvair or a Porsche engine being aircooled and all. Porsche never cast intake manifolds into the head. I can post some air cooled shit you'd never get, but it's pre WWII. RoadRaceJosh 12-01-2005, 02:42 PM Name this engine Hint its out of a bike, name the bike it came out of and its displacement. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v607/koopz/engine.jpg 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. wingsfan 12-01-2005, 02:44 PM 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. Josh 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. RoadRaceJosh 12-01-2005, 02:55 PM 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 12-01-2005, 03:54 PM 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? http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b226/2E151/tooheavy.jpg MrBob 12-01-2005, 05:32 PM Buick Nailhead Manntis 12-01-2005, 06:39 PM http://i15.ebayimg.com/03/i/04/86/cc/91_12_sb.JPG koopz 12-01-2005, 06:42 PM You guys are very close with the motorcycle engine, but its actually a 1973 Honda CB350-4 the predessor to the 400-4 totally restored the bike that was the enginebeofre and this is the finished product http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v607/koopz/DSC00300.jpg MrBob 12-01-2005, 10:59 PM http://i15.ebayimg.com/03/i/04/86/cc/91_12_sb.JPG Detroit Diesel 6V71 koopz 12-02-2005, 01:08 AM Very close 1973 Honda CB350-4 350cc 4cylinder swiss watch of engines can set a nickle on side of well tuned engine and rev to 10k rpm and the nickel will still stay on edge that was the before resto pic here is the after http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v607/koopz/DSC00300.jpg Such a joy to ride it will be sad to see her go for the new bike i have in store! RoadRaceJosh 12-02-2005, 10:43 AM 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 RoadRaceJosh 12-02-2005, 10:44 AM Buick Nailhead Yes! I need to make these more difficult. I threw up a diesel that should take some work. Now for another domestic V8. RoadRaceJosh 12-02-2005, 10:49 AM 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. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b226/2E151/V8.gif MrBob 12-02-2005, 01:05 PM Studebacker V8 MrBob 12-02-2005, 01:29 PM The Detroit was easy.

It's a 6V53 :) RoadRaceJosh 12-02-2005, 11:59 PM Studebacker V8 Ok, but at least spell Studebaker right. RoadRaceJosh 12-03-2005, 12:03 AM KTA38 Damn, you got it. Now how'd you do that? |
