The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop How many have V8's

I've got a 1952 GMC 3/4 ton with a 355 (0.030" overbored 350) with 10:1 compression and an Isky 270Megacam hyd flat tappet. It's got 1986 Corvette shorty headers and 2.5 inch mandrel bent dual pipes with side exhaust in front of the rear tires. Still working out the bugs though, but it's quick with 4.56 gearing...a little too quick.

If I have a 4 cylinder but it's two cycle..
Is it like an 8 cylinder 4 cycle?
Suppose it runs like a straight 8 and not a bent 8 though..

I agree on the Atlas engines, however the thread is about V8's

I have a 74 truck 350 in my 52 sedan

I have one also. 1995 corvette lt1.

283 on one and 327 in the other.

I have a 305 in my 1946 chevy p/u.

Hotrod Lincoln helped me by good advice to make it a super v8


Cheers

I have a 72 stock 350 out of a pickup in my 53

all my v8s are on the floor of my shed

6ers power every thing I drive

I'm working with a Mr. Goodwrench 350 in my 47 in progress.

BBC in my Chevelle
Stovebolt 6 in my '53

mine will be small block powered when I build it

i have a mild 350 smallblock in my 65 stepside.sounds good and goes like snot.

I've got a 327 in my '51 Bored out 60 new rods and pistons. Crank turned and balanced. Double roller timing set. New cam, lifters, Highrise intake and 4 Bl carb from Edelbrock performer series. Double hump heads with new valve springs and valves 2.02 + 1.6 I'm hoping to get about 350 hp out of it.

My '50 truck has an early 350 motor with Camel hump heads, high rise manifold and Holley four barrel carb. Pics are on my website.

fuel injected 5.3 from a 2006 Tahoe in my 50

I have a 57 3100 that was an orignal V8.

I currently has a slightly newer 60's vintage 283 in it. Not sure from what year but does not look original.

59 poncho 389 in my 59 GMC. The motor has been bored .030 over and stroked 1/2 inch with a eagle forged stroker crank to come up with 447 inches. I am also running an early tripower on this motor. This motor is a direct bolt in replacement for the original 336 inch pontiac v8 that the gmc was born with.

I hate automatics, so this one moves with a 5 speed nv4500. I hope to break the new engine in very soon.

By now you must have guessed that most of us changed over if we had a 6.(not that there is anything wrong with that)

1980 350/350 combo in my 57.

I'll always have a straight axle under mine...

LT1 Corvette 350 in mine.

Hi, new to the forum here. I have a 61 long bed, started life as a 6/3 on the tree model. Pops put a 327/350 combo at first, since then it's had a blown 327 and an LT1 350/400. I plan to put a gallery page up soon with pics and history, as the truck has been in my family since the mid 60's.

i left the straight axle on mine, drives, rides and handles fine

I've got a Chevy 350 small block, mildly built up, with Corvette headers and side-exit exhaust, shifted through the original transmission and differential in a 1952 GMC 3/4 ton pick up.

I love the torque, but now it accelerates a lot quicker than it will stop on the stock brakes. Future plans include a 6V53 roots supercharger off of a Detroit Diesel. But only if I can make stopping and handling safer.

Tim (the toolman) Taylor would be proud of you all!

Fixing to put a 550hp 400 small block into my 46 1.5 ton. Though many stay old school with 216's which is cool but mine was drive train free when i got it so now its gonna be a badass 4x4 when its done. U are definitely not an oddball.

My 55.2 came with an 283

I have an early corvette, a 235 6 with 2 single barrels. lol

My 70' GMC 1500 had a stock 350 in it with a 350 turbo hydramatic tranny behind it, but early on in it's life the stock 350 was blown. it being a workhorse got a replacement quick. It was refitted with a 350 hodge podge motor. It is a combination of the stock engine and a Target Master Motor. It still runs like a top, if you get it started. I can tell the different engines by the colors, the stock stuff is orange and the other is blue. It really is a strange looking sight. I am set to have the engine out by the end of the month for a rebuild. I plan on painting it all orange again, and when it's all set and done, it'll have 325 hp. The turbo-hydramatic is still kicking after a reseal job, but if it dies, I'd consider a manual tranny for fun. Original rear-end easily does 70 to 75 down the freeway, or at least it did when dad and I drove it home.

I am planning on building a 427 chevy big block with a dual carb tunnel ram. Th 400 trans. I don't know too much about the engine specs although I do know I have steel heads. I would like to get aluminum but cash is tight so I am using what I got.

I am planning on putting a Cadillac 390ci in my 50 AD truck

Man that sounds like a sweet motor I love PONTIACS I have a few around here A 69 400 that is going to to have a 65 tri power installed on it and A 455 thats set to be bored 70 over and a stroker crank to make it almost 500 cubic inch. And last but not least A 428 in my 69 GTO....

My wifes 66 has a 383 putting out just about 427 phonies with a bulit just for it turbo 350. Hopefully the some of the pics of her truck will be posted in the Gallery... And hopefully by this spring the whole truck should be together..

66chevyc10....Whadya mean Just 427 ponies!!
Sounds like a recipe for fun!

I wonder how many HP there is in this thread?
A few thousand I would guess.....

I have a 454 from a 72 suburban in my 51 GMC, the picture here is of the engine compartment it is a little dirty but it is in progress.

I have a "79" 350 4/bolt main with a 700R tranny that will be going in my 53 pickup. The engine came out a "BigTen" camper special my Dad bought new in 79 the engine started using oil at 80K miles and has been sitting in my shop ever since waiting on a rebuild. Engine rebuild parts are arriving and action on the truck and drive train will begin soon !

My 46 1/2 ton has a 283/350. Purrs like a kitten.
