46CoupeSD Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Here she is in all of her dirty glory! Stock/original engine in my '46 business coupe. She runs like a charm, and people at shows always seem to comment on how quietly she idles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I bought this suburban in October. It has a '55 230 engine and an overdrive transmission. Now that the suburban is at the body shop I will pull them and find out what I have. My plans are to put them in the gray suburban. I didn't run it before I bought it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John-T-53 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Flathead on the beach! Spotted in Half Moon Bay, CA in January I'm 99% sure this is a small block Mopar flattie....yeah? It even looks like a fluid drive. Also down the beach a ways is another inline six of unknown make (with chain around it). Any ideas? No idea how these ended up here. Maybe WWII-era remnants? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I keep tell you folks they make good boat anchors..but I do suggest a bit heavier chain than pictured...else yours will wind up on a beach.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I've seen engine blocks used as mooring anchors. Plant it, hook up a bouy to find it again and you have an instant mooring point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polsonator2 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Figured I'd post mine too. Stock engine in my '39 coupe. Runs great! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branded Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 This is mine, I know the gray isn't correct but, the silver just looks grungy to me. Some of the brackets should also be engine color but I painted things the way I thought the should have bee rather than what they where. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb1949 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Interesting pix. Some contributors over in the photo gallery include engine shots. Was just thinking of engine color yesterday. A quick search indicated that that 40's into early 50's were original Silver, the paint number being MOPAR P4529148. For whatever reason, I like it.

Tony_Urwin Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) George Asche built this 265ci from the 251 in my 1952 Desoto. Carbs and linkage are also from George. The dual intake is a swap meet part that I polished myself. Anyone ever seen another Nicson intake?
