Some misc pics of my engines.....

Intake type on the Hemi?

[Dodgeb4ya]

The intake is from 1958 4 ton Dodge truck model D-800 354 engine.

My '55 C-3-B8 with the 259 V-8 showing the 4 barrel WCFB carb.  Although everything looks stock, I've been told that MOPAR never put a 4 barrel on a pick up until the 60 or 61 Adventurer with the 413.  The other clue is the "Super Red Ram" on the valve covers.

I came across this at the junkyard yesterday.  Not sure what it is, but it looked a lot longer than a standard flathead.  Did they make a spitfire for the trucks in the larger blocks?

I'd like to get a Spitfire head for my 230.

[Don Coatney]

The Spitfire head was a Crashler (25" engine) only thing. I believe some trucks had the 25" engine but it did not have the Spitfire head. I did pick up a Spitfire head for my Desoto engine but I have not yet installed it.

Leave it up to Reg Evans to develop the one of a kind SpitSfire head for a 23" engine.

Couple of hoses, and a battery. Ready to roll.

 

2 heads are better than one.

Spitfire, two tone

Here is the Canadian D24 engine in my 1940 Dodge. It was rebuilt in about 1951. This is a 2010 photo. It definitely needs new paint now. This is on my long to-do list.

There's the old heart of Lumpy. Chrysler Marine, B&B carbs off of little slant-sixes, and a bit of a shave off the head.

 

Wow, must have cost 40Phil a fortune to chrome that engine.

Don, what is the difference between a 25 inch Spitfire head and a non-Spitfire 25 in head?

[DonaldSmith]

Let me guess:  The Word "Spitfire".  Was it higher compression? 

[Don Coatney]

The word "Spitfire" is the only difference I know of. The compression might have been higher but I have not seen any documentation to support that. I think Chrysler wanted to spit on the Buick "Fireball 8".

We need more pictures, snapped some of mine.

Here's my dirty old engine compartment.    At least the headers, oil filler cap, and battery hold down are clean.

Is that a plastic yellow ford dip stick in your engine?

[SpecialK]

I do not know. It is possible that the dipstick is not not the right.

On this car surprised me nothing!!
