Re: Pic of the day.

what engine is this? and why is the blower mounted like that? clearance issues?

Looks like an FE ford by the timing cover. Its mounted like that because it was a popular mounting style in the 50's and 60's to direct drive the blower at 100% off of the cam snout and avoid a belt or chain.

I'm going with an Olds motor and it's for a boat application.

The Potvin blower setup was used on dragsters,

Re: Pic of the day.

I'm no motor expert when they are all stripped down like that. For whatever reason I always think of Ford FE when I see a tombstone looking timing cover.

valve covers
two center bolts lumps in top side for rocker clearance lol

i just got rid of mine if i did not have one i would not have known and also would have thought ford kinda like a y block valve cover at a quick glance

Looks like early Olds (Rocket V-8). 303 324 371(0) 394.........

I like the concept, but I think the execution was poor. And this was a 4-door wagon, check out the rear tailgate. I think a more square looking cab would have been better, something mimicking a 59-60 Elco

Early Olds. Just about the most influential engine ever produced by man. ...not that i'm biased....

I always thought root beer was what we called ginger ale, or ginder beer.. Ginger also being a root of course.
But recently when I tried an A&W root beer at a local American Diner, I was surprised to find that it's what we label as sarsaparilla. Which is better.. I like sarsaparilla.
