    Re: best engine for C of G in a race car

    I would vote for either the mid-year fuelies or the '55 V8.

      The FI cabinet would be an excellent place to start.

            I think you are on to something Mike. Isn't retro a big thing right now. To each his own but I feel my '60 FI with a "320" unit (flat top) was among the least attractive fuelies they made. "Mid-year" fuel units were beautiful!!! Don H.

              O.K. The fuelies are quite beautiful but I am going way out on a limb to say the modern LT5. Nothing every has or ever will look like this 32 valve, aluminum masterpiece. I am not bias because I have both.

                  Well......

                  If no one else is going to throw the tripower into the discussion, then I guess I will! Nothing like seeing those triple carbs tucked under that triangular air cleaner!

                      I'm with you, I know it's marketing hype, more hassles, and not any better than a 4 barrel Holley, but hey, it looks great to me too......Craig

                        i once built a drag boat engine from a ZL-1 engine that the owner polished the whole aluminum engine to a shine. i bet he ended up with silicosis after that deal.
