my little project - It's my porn: 565" Ford 12.65:1 compression. Cammed for a boat with wet headers:





3 weeks before it was on another dyno and lost 20 lbs ft at 7,000 (26.6 hp). It wasn't eating itself so we finished the dyno session. Got it home and checked a few things out, and thought we had gained some of it back. After the third pull I realized we hadn't. A part of the problem was, come to find out it had some bad leakdowns in half the clys. So, there is more in there to be had. Needs a good freshen-up this winter.

Very Cool 😎

 

Back in the day, General Motors was sort of notorious for creating larger-than-life engines. So, the fact that the company made at least one 16-cylinder LS-based monster mill might not come as such a shock to folks with good memories.

General Motors brass felt that reviving a premier Cadillac offering seemed like a great idea, and they decided to go big or go home. Introduced in early 2003, the Cadillac Sixteen concept was every bit as lavish as a top-of-the-line, world-beating Cadillac should be. And naturally, like its namesake, the car featured 16 cylinders of overhead-valve power.

Designed by the pros at Katech, Cadillac’s LS-based V16 displaced a whopping 13.6 liters and created an impressive 1,000 horsepower and 1,000 lb./ft. of torque. Naturally aspirated and engineered to be as smooth as engines of the Brass Era, the Gen IV LS-based mill combined two valves per cylinder with GM’s latest and greatest Displacement On Demand technology that could shut down 8 or 12 cylinders at a time. While an opulent, line-topping Cadillac was planned for production, the Sixteen’s beautiful powerplant was scrapped in favor of more practical V10 and V12 designs. Eventually, the entire program was scrapped due to GM’s pending bankruptcy, but that’s certainly not where the story of LS-based 16-cylinders ends.

Should've went into the Caddy that was being shown.

 

Riddle me this Batman...

 

late 50's Chrysler 392 Hemi with BUICK scratched into the valve covers 🤷‍♂️

 

Yep..... definitely a 392
