Almost too nice to install, engine porn

[hyghlndr]

Got lucky tonight, almost too pretty to install ! Need some thing worthy to put it in.

My garage is worthy

 

[Yeller]

That deserves a promanant spot in the living room

I’m fortunate Mrs Yeller would be down with that

1st time she came to my apartment there was a dodge 360 being assembled on the dining room table, she not only thought it was cool, she knew what it was! I was hook line and sinker right there

Nice! What intake is that?

 

[fordfan]

Purty! I know you will swap the headers for some shiney ones when it goes from an art form to a powerplant!

The SHO engine is one of my favorite motors ever.

I have to double check. It was cleaned up and is powder coated.

I would love to see more of the finished SHO build. That is a nice fit.

The SHO intake is one of the most beautiful intakes ever - I have one that I need to hang up on the garage wall at some point....

Ask and you shall receive. I built it for a different project, but sold the car to a guy who planned to install an electric drivetrain. I kept the SHO engine, decided to make it a man cave coffee table. I wouldn't consider putting into a Bronco, it just doesn't have the torque curve for a 4x4.

The photo of it and the supercharged LS in the engine bay were taken just for fun, right after my new all steel Bronco body arrived. I had everything there, so it was easy to move things into position for some "what if" photos.

The forged, stroked, bored, supercharged, and intercooled 408 LS is going into my '01 GMC Sierra C3 (a Denali before they were called Denalis). The SHO is currently shop art, but it's for sale if anyone just has to have it. You may recognize the feet of the fabricated engine stand, they are actually overload leafs from my '71 Bronco original rear leaf spring pack.

Considering most new buyers are never going to see off road with these custom builds, the torque curve may not be that important in them. I understand what you are saying though. Still a cool looking power plant that would be fun to see what it felt like.

 

[Yeller]

I know a particular bronco that SC, stroker would bolt right in

I agree, the SHO is a sexy looking piece of motorized art.

Needs to go in a 65 fasetback. LS motor needs to go in 64 impala.

That LS needs to go into my Blazer!

Since fordguy mentioned " '65 fastback " and we're showing off engines...here's a pic of the 430ci stroker in my '65 Mustang fastback. dyno'd at 543HP and lots of fun!

That is a great looking garage you have there!

 

[LUBr LuvR]

Almost seems a shame to close a hood on beauties like these.....motor porn for sure!

I'm anxious to see this badboy actually in my Bronco.
