How about that LT-5, it put out some horsepower and I'm sure it had capacity for a lot more. I guess there weren't ever many around so it never caught on as a hot rod motor.

I guess my fav's are the L71, L67, CFM 56-7B heheh...and what the hell, I guess a 350 is about as versatile as you can possibly get. Of course there's nothing wrong with a 396/327/DZ302/348/409/non Aluminum 427/454 etc. either. I wouldn't turn any of 'em down....
Sometimes NOW are the "good old days"...

First, one view:Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Gee Bob, I may be a young feller but that engine sure looks like a Duesy!
I always wondered why Lycoming decided to siamese the ports on those things. They would have breathed much better with individual ports and a good, scavenging exhaust setup.

The cast manifolds on the naturally aspirated ones were individual. It was only paired up (externally) on the supercharged ones. Probably to keep it from looking too "busy" with 8 stainless covered pipes instead of 4 larger ones.Originally posted by The F.N.G.
