I like how everything is polished and that black intake. What type of motor is that a ford or dodge of some sort?? It is so shiny maybe it could be a chevrolet. I do not know. I can see is had evenly divided intake runners and 8 bolts per valve cover.

I would have had the intake polished too. It looks like a black tarantula sitting on that motor.

I was wondering myself what engine it is. I first thought ford 460 or some stroked version of it but the distributor is at the back. Then I thought crysler but again the distributor is not at the front and not at a angle. The valve cover bolt spacing is wrong for a chev.
I'm with you Sigforty. What is it.
Also all that chrome. Will it stay cool. Black is the most effective color at giving off heat. Is chrome the worst? :) :)

I am pretty sure its the SB2 heads and intake on a small block chevy. That's what the nascar boys use now. Looks really nice.

I appologize for not stating what it was. It's a Chevy smallblock. As most of you know Ford and Morpars have a front mounted distributors.

The block looks like an alumium block that's been polished. I gotta believe it will cool as well if not better than a painted iron block. Where's a metalurigical engineer when you need one? :lol:

Corey, is that your Dad/s motor? If it is a polished aluminum block, the owner needs to get the Zoops' polished aluminum seal kit. :yesnod:
