Heres my dirty old stinkin, thumping guzzling 429ci V8

[Agile]

Have just picked up our 77 LTD from Adelaide Carby Services. Holley 600 rebuild and very,very,very, HAPPY!!!!! Am not a mechanic and have not had a carby 351 Clevo for 25 years plus so to have a sweet 351 running PERFECT on petrol is a conplete joy that can not be compared. Almost. The SOUND !!! is soooooooo much better than on gas Cant wait for the weekend. I am gunna give her a burble up through the Hills to Birdwood for a geez at the really old cars and a coffee. [followed by a frothy when we get home]

My latest contribution, gasses out the back shed and gives you a mild headache before you even clunk it into gear, still love it and will be back on the road in another month

i like those solenoids sitting either end of the carby, i just sold my kit...

[Saraco]

Chuggga, Chugga??....... More like VAAAAAAARRRROOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!! 10.7@131mph, in full street trim. i.e. pump fuel, through full exhaust,air filter on, with street suspension (no 90/10 shocks , caltracs etc.etc.) and there is more coming.

[123Cat]

If you drove an Aluminium V8 P76 auto you would like it
You can fit a 44 in the boot ,
Power steering quite fast

I like dirty old sixes , to me they are the real ford engine
I saw a good picture of Henry and Tom Edison and Harvey Firestone together , I will try and post it

Mind V8's don't "need to be" stinking or guzzling...

GDDYUP has a reasonably worked 351 Windsor with some very loud 2 3/4 inch dual pipes running an fmx with 3k stall and 3.89 gears.
The ratty is a mild 351 clevo with tamer 2 inch dual pipes for street use and a 4 speed single rail with highway gears.

I like the look of the P5 front. One car I'd like to get one day is a P5 LTD.... custom exhaust system of course.

Well I've had lots of them over the years. None went chug a chug, none used 30/100 k's well maybe if I was in a real hurry and I've yet to find a turbo snot box that goes like that.
A well tunes 8 can even get good fuel consumption in the country on a quiet night when no ones looking, ok they could hear the thing miles away.

[AWSMXD#1]

Love the sound of my big block pwered 69 chevelle. It makes about 100hp less than my gt but is much cooler.

[SPArKy_Dave]

If it's a cranky EFI Windsor, is it still dirty old and stinkin?

Love old V8s of any brand or make.
My dream car is a '69 Mustang Mach 1.
Hopefully in a couple of years I'll get one. Though the engine may be swapped out for a more modern V8.

[noosacuda]

Tuning and testing my 8 litre, 500 cube Chrysler 6 pack i managed to get 6 miles per gallon or 47.08 L/100 K's.

Dirty - yes
Old - yes
Stinkin' - yes
Thumping - sorta
Guzzling - yes
V8 - yes




Smokey - yes (Even with a sump full of Wynns Stop Smoke)




Love it - yes

You need the V8 to run the power steering, air conditioning, electric windows and the cassette player.
