I assume some dude started the 3/4 cam thing long ago when he discovered it had the lift & duration which was not stock, but not as radical as a "Full Race Cam" which was invented by his older brother or something. You know a Full Race Cam when you hear it on the local Nova in your area.... it bogs until 4700RPM, comes on & takes a dump emitting more black smoke than a diesel.... at a stop, this vechile must be brought to neutral every time. It will always have a "double pumper" on it too (which is also too big). Usually, a mullet is in order & THESE VECILES MUST HAVE REAR AIR SHOCKS PUMPED UP ALL THE WAY. Sometimes you will notice one red light on the back of a traction bar (cause the other is broken) as well. A true poser will bungee/strap a commercial fire extingusher to the seat so that a side view of it can be seen by passing drivers (this is because the full race cam has not "kicked" in yet). Last, a really poor job of an old hood scoop must be installed w/ the "CU IN" painted on the side of it too. Scooter

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Scooter I thought that they alsway raised the back end by installing 2" block under the springs and they also lowered the front end to make it look "meaner". Oh and you cant forge that they only bought bald tires so they can "smoke em" easier too. JMO

Ok Scooter I thought you and I were getting along just fine until you dissed everything from my hair cut to my fire extingusher bracket!! lol
You don't like the 396ci on the hood??
And I thought Rednecks only lived in the South!! LOL!!

This will only make sence for the older crowd. There was once a tire brand called Mohawk. It would make a smoky burnout like a funny car. Of course, half of the guys had a peg leg rear end, but the smoke was so thick you could not tell!!!

I grew up in the greatest days.....

Dave

i think I have heard of that brand.

Check out this add. May even be ligit!

Nothing still beats the car I saw with the holley 4 barrel bolted to the hood. Funniest thing I've ever seen on a car.

Re: Corvette Motor
 

I think its an old used car salesmen technique to justify the cost/value of a particular veh in question. its kind of funny, i have a vette, and its not the orig. motor lol

WOW.... Someone stole it didnt they. They wanted to say that they had a vette motor in their ride. LOL

Re: Corvette Motor
 

It is probably in a 79 Monte Carlo somewhere.

A what bolted to the hood? I must have missed that one!

Hey guys I just found this on craigslist in Reno.



http://reno.craigslist.org/cto/1324156653.html

What, no picture of the engine? That's the selling point!! :lol:

Dave

D-Diggler,

That is a good one "engine suffix codes" ... she is purrtty. I digg those MOJO's on the back too. SWEET!!

some guy had a Holley Carb Bolted to the hood of his car with a chrome air cleaner on it...I guess from 50 ft away it would give the illusion of a carb sticking through the hood. :lol:

Haha, guy just stoped by and told me about the deal his buddy just got down the street. A iroc camaro with a corvette motor for $900.00.

I died laughing to myself thinking about this post and him saying that!!

I know the feeling. :lol:

LMAO!! His parents should have gone fishing instead of having drunken $#X!!! LOL

isn't funny how the motors just jump out of all these vettes out there and end up flying into every half ass junk out there? maby they should bolt them down better!! where did all the motorless vettes go? :cry: :cry:

I bet pepol put 6cyl's in the vettes because they were to powerful,or used the fiberglass to make boats.

There is apparently more to the "Corvette Motor" mystique than I thought.....It seems the motor didn't necessarily have to come in a Corvette from the factory to be valuable...It just needs to have been bolted into a Corvette at some point. :roll:

Man, I bet it only takes you about 10 minutes to cut the grass now!!! :lol:

Its like every car ive seen for sale atta car show is RARE!!!! rare color,rare engine,rare option combo!!!Alitte ole lady owned it!!!!Gee i dont think its been painted before, the best one NO RUST YEA JUST LOTSA BONDO TO COVER IT UP!!!!!!br :roll: :twisted:

Haha, like this guy down the road with his "rare" 68 nova hatchback with a deluxe 305, little old lady owned it, haha, he says he wants 30k for it and its worth 2500 max! It so hard for everyone around her not to laugh while talking to him.

I was helping my dad put the engine into his El Camino this weekend.It is a dish piston 400 with double hump heads. I saw the heads and said "Oh man...double hump heads, this must be a corvette motor"

He looked at me like I was stupid and said ..."It came out of a station wagon."


I didn't know they made corvette station wagons.

that guy may have a really rare car!!68 nova hatchback.ive never seen one and with a 305. hell that engine is way ahead of its time considering it didnt even come out until the mid 70s, unless its the gmc 6cly truck engine.it may be worth 30,000 lol

LOL! "Camel Back" heads.... I just remembered another one. "angle plug" heads... if I remember correctly they were elite & had a mystique too. yeah, I want some of those 202 angle plug/double hump heads.

another vette motor
 

just browsing craigs list and found one,,,,this mite be the one,,, :roll:

I thought high preformance motor whould be 4 bolt.

http://neworleans.craigslist.org/pts/1399900281.html

Nope stock 2 bolts sbc are stronger unless its a aftermarket splayed cap block

Thats what I was always told too !!!!

this is the engine in my wifes CORVETTE dragster , check out the heads ,,old school but work great , the pushrods go through brass tubes in the intake ports because they are ported out so big....she keeps this thing so clean you probally can eat off it :lol:

Love it... I did not know the wife was an adrenalin junkie. That is awesome...

What does the wifey's run rattler?

it only turns 5.28 -5.30 ---basic 355 ci small block 8% overdrive , still alot of fun :D scares the crap out of her everytime :lol: :lol: :lol:

does anybody know the exact specs on a 3/4 cam? i think i may have. if so does anybody want to buy it? :D

Wow maniac that is clean. Does she moonlight on the side? Mine could use a little cleaning. :lol: :lol:

:D she is a clean F R E A K :roll:

I think it's just a way of embeleshing the truth. Like saying you have a low back pressure, free flow exhaust system....when all you got are stock manifolds with no exhaust. Like sayin their date was fine as h3ll....but leavin out the part where the lights were off.
I like hearing "It has a NASCAR engine."
