uncommon hot rod engine choice


Recommended Posts

You can have 8 carbs or fuel injection, but not both. ;)  I'm using the same motor in my '48 Ford custom- I used the 8 carbs and made aluminum velocity stacks and it looks pretty wicked. The plug wires are shrouded so that makes it real easy to wire, just need to drill a hole in the ends of the shrouds big enough to glue 4 wires in. The front cover has a nice flat bottom that makes mounting pretty easy.

Plumbing and linking 8 carbs will offset the ease of wiring the heads. I've seen some pics of other intakes that could be cool to scratchbuild.

I am trying to remember which older Lincoln kit has the V-8, or maybe a V-12, with the exhaust exiting through the top of the block and the intakes on the side.  I want to say it may have been a 1928 model, possibly one the the older Gangbusters series.
