TodFitch Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 A couple pictures of my 1948 Chrysler straight eight 323ci. engine ready to be installed this week end.... Sweet looking power plant. I'd been told that they never went to the full length water jacket on the straight 8 as there wasn't enough sales volume to warrant the work. But you photos show that the person who told me that did not know what they were talking about. Quote
Don Coatney Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 Great looking engine! Is that a Buick or Pontiac paying hombage to all the Mopars in your garage? Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 It's just an old worthless but like new 40,000 mile cougar Don that has it's spot in the garage of all my old MoPars! Quote

Ricky Luke Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Looks great Dave! But the steering wheel is on the wrong side Funny guy ... But it does make life interesting when you have the steering column in the way of the tappet covers and exhaust... Rick Edit - my engine Edited August 21, 2014 by Ricky Luke Quote

pflaming Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Posted October 9, 2014 Just sittiing here trying to fibure out if I should get some more sleep or make coffee. So to fill the time, just been surfing these pictures. I always learn something just by observing what others have done. There are a lot of tricks and tips in these pictures. Enjoy. Quote
HotRodTractor Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Perfect thread. I was just going to start looking for pictures of stock manifolds that guys have modified for dual carb/dual exhaust and there is plenty of good pictures in here to see what I wanted and needed to see. Thanks! Quote
