Yup. But they just drive over anything in the way.
My neighbor was an RCMP and someone gave them one to haul their trailer to go to schools.
They are giant.
But very cool. Probably hard to find a good one.

We can talk

I see, I thought you were talking GM motors.

The 302 was GM . The car with the new motor sounded like it was going to stall with the cam. He barely drove it , hard to drive it and not nail it.

Yes I know, I already said that way back, but you mentioned a 427 small block, but GM’s small blocks went up to 400 CID. But I thought you explained that by stating it was a 427 small block built by someone other than GM....shrug.

Haha. Yes. I thought I said that .
And wasn’t there 400 big blocks. I’m sure someone knows.
I think he paid $8k back then for the motor.

Chevrolet had the 396 and supposedly some blocks rusted and as a result had to be bored and they became a 402.

The first “W” or big block Chevy motor was a 348, made in 1959 I think.

I figured you’d know. The 407 . Was that Pontiac.
When I was a kid , my cousin had a 64’ convertible vet with a 427. I bugged the crap out of him until he took me for a drive. Still remember it.

I raced a few big blocks with my Chevelle. Get them off the start, but they always catch you.

Right but, the 396, 402, 409 and 427 were all W’s, big block motors.

Yup. I raced a 396 Nova SS . He eventually caught me. We talked. His Nova would be worth money today. 396 Big Block.
My Chevelle was a 300 hp 327.

[Mopower58]

I am not sure when you start asking about Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick and all those other brand GMs. I do know that chevy had a 409 in the early 60's and Pontiac had a 400 but always said that from a 347 to a 455 used the same block so they did not designate big or small block.

Seems like the Tornado had a 425 CID???

But you gotta love a big block.
A guy down from my parents built a T Bucket with a 454 with a blower. You could hear that car from three blocks away.

Sounds like my 1969 olds 442 with a 455 CID.

Haha. Flashback. A rich kid in high school had a Tornado. We’re they front wheel drive. Just smoke the tires off.

Not sure about a 425. I know they built a 421 and a 428.

That would be worth good money today too. Hard to find the top end with a car like that.
