Another Whatzit

[Normspeed]

OK, this is not a stock motor. Any guesses on what kind of motor?

(I know the answer)

stovebolt

[BobT-47P15]

Prolly a chebby

[40phil41]

Stovebolt chevy with Paxton supercharger.

Phil

[james curl]

I want to guess AMC I/6 or MoPar Jeep I/6. Chevy does not have external oil pump. Don't think it is a Canadian built Studerbaker I/6 about 1964.

[Tony Cipponeri]

I go with Phil, possibly a GMC. Tony C

[dezeldoc]

well if ya blow up the pic it looks like it says GMC on the side cover, it is a GM head for sure. maybe a high volume oil pump is why it is so big. how about the big GMC 301.

[wallytoo]

i was thinking it said "crane" on the side cover. ??

[later]

Chevy 292 with some serious modifications is my guess.

[aero3113]

It looks like it says gram on the side covers to me

[Grandadeo]

Uh, Uh, Mr. Kotter, pick me, pick me, I know what it is. Is that fact that it's from "down south" too vague a hint.

[Tony WestOZ]

I know, I know but will not tell.

Depends on how far "down south" you go.

[Don Coatney]

I would rather have one of these.

[Normspeed]

"Down South" is a good clue. Grandadeo is on the same forum where I snagged the photo so he be cheatin'.

[Dennis Hemingway]

It's from so far down south that it's Christmas Day. I'm also a member of that other forum.

Dennis:D

It's a nice forum, has the feel of this one as far as the software used as well as the mellowness of the members. Here's the link:

The motor is a supercharged Holden, going in a 1948 Vauxhall, running straight LP gas for an estimated 300+ ponies.

Merry Christmas to our members in that part of the world.

PS I believe the motor will be going into this car.

Yeah Greg you tell em boy, I studder. Tony C

Maybe Norm was trying to sneak it past the forum "unwanted word blocker." It sounds a whole lot more exotic when you say Holden and, as a matter of fact I guess, down there it is a Holden.

Holden = General Motors

Holden's sold in the USA are Pontiac. In England its Opal. Sadie Arabia and similar countries they are sold under the Chevrolet name.

Holden is one of the few divisions of GM that is actually making a profit.

[Plymouthy Adams]

probably due to the fact the UAW is not crippling production

and the so called Holden Pontiacs here in the US...pure T grabage engines with heads that are weaker than a pregnant woman's bladder

[Fernando Mendes]

GMC engines since 1937,until 1959.
