And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That is a small block Chevy block(409or348 heads were very differently shaped). The aftermarket injectors are nice but not uncommon, but the valve covers are new to me. They appear to be styled after early "nail head" Buick . They look like they are pin located instead of being bolted down, with quick release straps for valve adjustment. Be Interested to know if this is an old aftermarket item and who would have made it.
Small block 327c.i. ?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen leather straps for holding down the valve covers before.
ReplyDeletemight be a wedge head engine, you know the old 409 or the smaller 348
ReplyDeletenot sure as it has bein a very long time since I seen one.
Olds 303; Rocket 88
ReplyDeleteBut that's a guess.
DeleteOr a Caddy from the 365 era.
DeleteHow many guesses do I get for a quarter?
Looks like the same styling as the Leslie Special in The Great Race!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Olds or Cadillac. As there are also bolts on those valve covers the leather straps are just for show.

THAT is pure class.
ReplyDeleteThat fuel setup must just pour gasoline into the engine.
ReplyDeleteThe leather straps on the rocker covers are a little frou-frou.
