Re: Who's Engine Is This Game!

Daimler 2.5L V8 in a Dart or SP 250 .

More likely the latter.

Re: Who's Engine Is This Game!

Its a hemi V8 whatever it is...............the distributor in the back ( like chevy engines ) is throwing me off.

It has got to be an early hemi of some sorts, maybe a 331-354-392 ?

My guess would be a 392 with the dual 4's fuel injection setup. Maybe off a Desoto or something like that.

That gets you in the neighborhood ie V8, hemi head/rough equivalent/pentroof with flow thru ports , rear mount distributer --> early first gen Chrysler (Firepower), DeSoto (FireDome) and Dodge (Red Ram). The 392 is taller and bigger by a bunch -the best fit size wise (still wrong) would be a Dodge 241/270 Red Ram. (No Poly possible.)

One of many big give aways that its not ( the other giveaways not possible unless highly and unusually modified) is the pair of S.U. HD 6s on top - can't tell for sure but the 2 carbs don't look near large enough for HD 8s.

The 'strangest' and most unique part APPEARANCE WISE is the cooling system hoses/component locations - Daimler (UK) all the way as far as an OEM goes - with the above in mind. (Really the whole 'front of engine' arrangement)

Notice also aluminum heads and low probability of OHC.

Compared to above mentioned Mopar engines it is smaller - and lighter.

Notice how small the compartment is as well.

Besides the Daimler Dart/SP250 the next most likely placement would be in an Ogle SX 250 and then a Daimler 2.5L V8 250.

Re: Who's Engine Is This Game!

by the looks of the Intake manifold and other accesories it looks like a Flathead V8, but the head/valve covers throws that idea off.
