Thank you for the journey back into my youth. I remember all these engines except for the Cadillac. They were all great. My dad used to race Ford flatheads on the oval track, and I remember being at the track when the first Chevy V-8 (driven by Gordy Johncock) competed against them. It blew the flatheads away and ended an era. This was in southwest Michigan.

Ford 289 has to be a favorite of mine
@KB10GL
@KB10GL Ай бұрын
The 289 was a good little engine, made even better with the additional stroke that made it a 302. It had one major advantage, it was significantly lighter and more narrow than the Chev small block & the Chrysler LA, but for use in another chassis, like a Model A or T it was long. Too long. For performance use, the ports were too restrictive. Great for regular passenger car use, but restrictive for performance. The best upgrade for this engine is to start with a 302 & go straight for the aftermarket aluminium heads with manifold, cam & headers of choice. The heads transform the engine from the little engine that could, [perhaps], to the little engine that did.

I see someone mentioned the Chevrolet 265, 283, 327, and the 350. But another great small block engine of the day was the Ford 289, a great little engine that was virtually bullet proof, as a good friend from my teenage years who had a 1965 Mustang with that engine with a four speed manual tranny proved. ' Greg ' was always, always into the throttle in that Mustang and it always performed, and performed well. He was never abusive to his Mustang but he was very fond of feeling it perform. And perform it did, and held up superbly !!

That's a pretty bold statement. Particularly since you don't define what "best" means to you. There are sooo many other engines that can lay claim to that title, & some are mentioned here,, it all depends on how we define "best". The Chrysler, Desoto & Dodge Hemi engines are also up for the title of best, particularly the Chrysler 354 & 392 Hemi's & the Dodge 315 & 325 Hemi's.

I would agree but I'd extend that out to any variation of the small block Chevy from the 265 to the 400. The odd duck being the 305 due to its bore size but even it, with a stroker kit, can be built into a nice 400 pony street rod engine.

For it’s time the Chrysler Corp Slant Six 225 was a great choice for a regular family car. Easy to work on compared to the V-8’s of the day shoehorned into ever smaller engine compartments. One head gasket, one exhaust manifold, and easy to reach spark plugs for shade tree mechanic owners. After the 1973 gas embargo shot prices way up, the pretty good gas mileage for a full size car was a point in its favor. When the Plymouth Volare and the Dodge Aspen were replaced by Lee Iacocca’s K Cars like the misnamed Reliant, the Slant Six was gone, but it’s still not forgotten. Note all the great engines were cast iron. Doubtful if the aluminum engines, some even with plastic parts, will have such trouble free longevity.

The Ford SOHC was not banned from NASCAR because it was too powerful, it was banned because Ford would not install it in a passenger model that could be bought off the floor in a Ford dealership. Chrysler faced the same ban with the 426 Hemi, but that chose to do the right thing & made this engine available in a wide range of Dodge & Plymouth models. NASCAR was, at the time, a race for "stock" cars, so the car being raced had to be a stock model that was available to the public. The 'cammer' was far too expensive to put in an available Ford model & expect John Q Public to actually buy one.

@@bricefleckenstein9666 As long as the vehicle being presented for scrutineering complied with all of the rules that applied at the time, then it's good to go. If such a ban on overhead cam engines had never applied, & Ford had managed to put a $7000 engine in a $4500 car & actually managed to sell enough, then Chrysler already had a DOHC engine well advanced in development. As it turned out it was not needed & development was discontinued before it was ever fired up. It still exists in a private collection. Sadly, for Ford, they lost quite a bit of money on every SOHC engine that they sold, so perhaps it was good, from an economic [bean counters] point of view, that they didn't need to make any more than they already had.

@@bricefleckenstein9666 The Cammer did quitewell for a brief time in the drag racing sphere, but in the end, the Chrysler design was copied & improved on with dedicated race engines by Donovan & Pink [or was it Black?] Many parts of these two engines were interchangeable with the 392 & 425 Chryslers, both of which can still be seen in competition today. Both water cooled & solid alloy heads for street & competition use are still available today as well. The cammer was a good design, but Fors found some of the same problems that Chrysler did. The Hemi was costly to produce, but the cammer was crazy expensive to produce with Ford, 'apparently', losing thousands on every one that they sold. The Ford engine was like a match, it shone brightly & did well for a short time, but quickly faded away & was gone from the active campaign trail. Parts? I am unaware of a replacement parts source for the Ford engine, but parts for racing, Hot Rod & stock rebuilds are still readily available for both the late '50's Hemi's & the 426. I guess there's the story in a nutshell. My little 325 Dodge Hemi is a precious jewel & is just the ticket for my '33 coupe.

Great car engines should be judged primarily on how maw years it was in production. This is the best test of reliability, maintainability, and cost effectiveness. For example the Chrysler Slant Six was in production from 1959 to 1984. It powered cars, tractors, and boats. The Chevy small block produced for 51 years!

"330 Horsepower" has nothing to do with the force generated by 330 live horses. Horsepower is calculated by multiplying the amount of force (in pounds) by the speed (in feet per second).

To be picky, take the foot pounds, multiply by the RPMs, divide by 5250. So 1 FP of torque = 1 HP at 5250 RPMs.

Ford wasn't the one complaining about 427 sohc being exotic with over head cam .... Chrysler complained the most,( according to a article I read) . In 1964 Chrysler built 3 still born (never ran under own power) 426 hemi dual overhead cam 4 valve per cylinder with 16 intake runners,1 for each valve. Projected to produce 700-900 h.p. in dealer show room trim. The tappet retainer plate kept braking and before it went to titanium.... they complained about Ford so much the banded overhead cam and shot themselves in the hemi..... they dropped the motor 😢...it would have been forever dominated if they hadn't complained so much 🤔🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾😎

I don't believe you got your story correct...they didn't start working on the dohc motor until 68 or 9. If you want to talk complaining you should look at how Chevy cried-they are the reason the Hemi got put on the street!

Both Ford & Chrysler were to have been banned from NASCAR because neither engine could be bought in a production car off the showroom floor. NASCAR events were for stock, production models, hence the threat of a ban. Ford couldn't do it on cost grounds, but as we know, Chrysler stuffed a Hemi in just about every mid & full size chassis that wore a Dodge or Plymouth badge. You could actually buy a base, full size Dodge four door sedan, with three on the tree, drum brakes & all the base model deletes or features, but with a Hemi, in 1968. Apparently, two people did just that. The DOHC Hemi was to be a counter to Ford if they actually made the SOHC engine available in a production model, & avoid the ban. They didn't & there was no need to continue with development.

@KB10GL all true, the beauty of the entire thing is that due to GM whining about the hemi Chrysler went ahead and put it in everyday cars-the masses got an affordable racing engine and GM kept losing...Thanks GM!

NOT sure what the engine shown at 9:09 is, but NO Cadillac engine made in 1930 came from the factory with an alternator.

The engine shown there is the Cadillac Sixteen concept car's 13.6-liter V16 engine. It shared many small details from the classic V-16. (the concept car is shown at 8:14)
