47-59 show those engines - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My truck, as many are, is sleeping throughout the winter months but never forgotten. Today I put a cleaner to the engine and compartment, and I thought I'd start a post to show all those motors and how spiffy they look. So let's see your engines and engine compartments.

Fast Chevy · 01-08-2021, 09:57 PM

Not real pretty, but it will lay down some rubber!

jeffs56 · 01-08-2021, 10:02 PM

Here’s mine. Almost done

mr48chev · 01-09-2021, 03:34 AM

All I have Is the day I got it shot. In truth I have spent far more on this engine than I have on any engine I have ever owned in my life and the engine was given to me. I just hope I can run it by the nursing home and rap the pipes while my buddy is still alive to hear it.

When he gave it to me after calling to say that he had something for me that I needed. He is in the nursing home with dementia so getting this running is important right now.

I do have this intake that is about like a tunnel ram for a six banger.

Stock LS1 in my 56. Sanderson headers, etc..

mr48chev · 01-09-2021, 01:57 PM

That is a clean installation Carbuff382. That mirror finish firewall is nice too.

87Lowrider · 01-09-2021, 05:21 PM

I picked up a 5.3L out of a 2008 GMC Sierra 4x4 from the salvage yard for the '57. Had it gone through, removed the DOD, new cam / lifters. Adding FiTech Injection and a new 4L-65. Should be quite peppy.

Should be transplanted shortly.

Thank you MR48CHEVY.

**Dan in Pasadena** · 01-10-2021, 09:17 PM

Looking for a picture to put in this thread made me realize I don't have an engine picture since the truck has been done with the hood on, etc.

Oh well. Here's what I've got for the moment:
