All of those engines are pinnacle engineering development of their respective manufacturers. Definitely shocked by a 302 hemi Chevrolet. 303 Pontiac Trans-Am V8 engine used in the late 60's is another rare racing series engine. I'm sure all the manufacturers had super exotic variations and test designs in their labs and advanced development buildings . Probably some really awesome stuff that got disposed of after research was done.
All 426 Hemi equipped cars came with a 90 day or 3000 mile warranty. The 440 was 400 pounds lighter than the 426, and was usually quicker in the quarter mile. Some Hemis had the 2 four bbl set up.
That 302 Chevy was probably an attempt to overcome the lack of power of the Chevy 302 vs the Ford 302 in TransAm - the Ford made a hair less torque, but revved quite a bit higher. 302 for Chevy was almost specifically designed for TransAm, then some production models were made to meet "requited production" requirements - in Camero's as a minimum.
@@bricefleckenstein9666 The Ford 302 was developed in 1969. The Chevy DZ 302 came along in 1967. The same man developed both engines. He wisely took a 283 block with a 327 crank, and made the better DZ 302 engine, it was far better suited for drag racing. I watched several Chevy 302 engines dynode. Some made 366 horsepower, which is enough to show the Boss 302 it's taillights. Also, the Ford 302 would blow up easier. You can't make chicken salad with chicken $hit.
@@ricktaylor3748 The Chevy 302 had longer rods, which suited it better to being a torque engine than a power engine vs the Ford 302. And Boss 302 "blowups" were bloody rare - serious strawman argument there.
@@bricefleckenstein9666 Nope, the Boss 302 had the same length connecting rods as the DZ 302 engine. The Chevy 302 had 3.75 inch stroke and a 4 inch bore. All Ford engines blow up easy.
Right, I have a 63 cross ram that makes 508 Fp @3500. Around 300 units made. It also taught them long small runners made more bottom end torque. Mine are 30" from valve,on a 413. The New intakes are coiled up with ports going up.
Don't forget the MOPAR 400 and 444 HEMI in 1969 that were supposed to replace all B, RB and HEMI engines. Dick Landy loaned a 1969 Barracuda with the 444 HEMI to a museum and he also had a spare 444 HEMI on an engine stand. I think they made about 8 of the 444 engine and only 2 or 3 remain.
I'm thinking that the small block Chevy engines were probably the most innovated, look how long they stayed in production and how easily they could be adapted into any vehicle. Not to mention how much cheaper it cost to build them.
The Chrysler A-925 DOHC 426 HEMI - 2 were built for testing, but never ran under their own power - They were the reason that Ford quit NASCAR and NHRA..... (Nicknamed the DOOMSDAY MACHINE). And the Chrysler A-279 Ball-Stud HEMI. in 400 and 440 ci. Possibly up to 12 were built, and at least ONE still RUNS.
I worked at a transmission shop in the late 2000's on weekends my boss had bought the contents of another local shop that closed.

After we looked up the casting numbers we spent a good couple hours tearing down that engine down just out of curiosity. Never seen the inside of a 348/409 engine before or since, it was super cool as a GM guy. Don't worry it was seized when we got it, it had to be taken apart regardless.
From one of the last "orphan" builders, Studebaker's 304.5 C.I.D. V-8 (bored out from the company's internally designed 289 V-8 - NOT Ford's). Approximately just 125 of these were built. Andi Granatelli took an R3 equipped Avanti to Bonneville in 1963, and set a record top speed for the flying mile of 170.5 M.P.H.

there were less than 100 Pegasso Z102 and Z103 V8 produced and less than 100 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale V8s made, both of which are far more interesting than many of the regular US V8s mentioned
there was never a production small block hemihead you were right. there were aluminum heads though, and the late 70s HP small blocks had roller hydraulic lifters and HP cams with the long runner manifolds. those motors were peppy for 5.0 L
It was the '57 Bonneville that had the fuel injection. The '54 Bonneville Special concept car was powered by the old straight eight flathead with four side-draft carburetors and a beefy cam.
Pontiac didn't make a 1954 Bonneville. First year for the Bonneville was 1957. There was a 1954 Bonneville Special, looked something like a 54 Corvette. It did not have fuel injection. F.I. first showed up in various GM cars in 1957.
In terms of innovation, GM's Corp. structure has Cadillac as the #1 division, Buick #2, Pontiac #3 and Chevrolet last on their divisional totempole, where annual development revenue is distributed accordingly.
Where was the Studebaker 304.5 cubic inch R4? While as many as a half-dozen or these may have been built, only two were installed in production cars for public sale. According to 1974 literature from Avanti Motor Corporation, Studebaker never published horsepower ratings for the Avanti-spec engines. The R4 was naturally aspirated with two four-barrel carbs and 12.5:1 compression, full racing cam, electronic ignition, slightly oversquare bore and stroke dimensions. It was said that Andy Granatelli wouldn't ship a single-carb supercharged R3 version, a couple of dozen built, seven installed in Avantis and one in a '64 Commander, Granatelli wouldn't ship those engines until they had turned 415 horsepower on the dyno stand.
You should try to match the pictures to the text. You could have shown the Chevrolet mechanical FI system from the 50's instead of the 84' Crossfire injection. Not even going to bother to mention all the other mismatches.
The 63 impala had a 409 stroked to 427called the Z11, and also had the mark II 427, the so called mystery engine that raced in nascar that looked a lot like the later mark 4 427 ,but the bore and stroke was the same as the Z11. Meaning bigger bore and shorter stroke than the mark 4 that everyone is familiar with.
07:00 Chevy also sold L88 427's over the parts counter... 07:27 "forced connecting rods"... 08:02 L88 had iron heads, L89 had aluminum heads, ZL1 was aluminum block and heads...

No, 64.5 to 68 Ford Mustang inline 6 aka “ThriftPower” was the default, the 289 and 289 HiPo V8s were upgrades.
I have to point out that the engine pictured as the Z-11 is actually a 409...

It depends on where you're looking. Pickup trucks are the best selling vehicles in the U.S. , and that's where you'll find the n/a V8's today.
