I love old cars. It doesn't matter the year or the make, some cars just speak to me. Modified or original they all have a character. Unfortunately the over use of the SBC, and to a lesser degree the use of newer engines like the 302 in say a 55 Ford or a Mod motor in a 32 have eliminated some of that great character the old cars have. Older engine designs often have as much character as the cars they served in. My favorite is of course the Y, but others were great too. They had style, were identifiable at a glance and were often damn good engines. Here are a couple of my favorites. How about yours?
