So what exactly do we have here?

[Scream And Fly]

Small block? Does anybody have any info on this?

[mr fun]

it's been on here before , not much fanfair at the time , not sure why. obviously if it was without problems it could have taken off , probably alot of " why didn't I think of that ". seem to remember the inventor was an older man , probably deceased by now and will never get credit for his genius . seems like the article showed it running , possibly a video . all I got .

can't quite make out the tag . Virginia

must run on Moonshine

Harrel Engineering 6.2 that would be a Big Block . somebody in Va. could run that tag and narrow it down even further.

Don't know anything about it. But from the picture I see it's a classic small block Chevy. 4 bolt Valve covers and the distributor by the bell housing. 6.2 would be a 350 with a 400 crank. Probably bored over. Because its set vertical it probably has a dry sump oil setup. I would also think it would have to be fuel injection because how would a float work. Way ahead of its time becauce well 7 Marine. And now we have 300R 400R 500R.

Sorry Fun. Gm's 6.2L is a LS based small block. Not a Big Block. Just has the torque of one

Its fairly old so I believe it predates those systems.

Makes much more sense in my book as well. I never could understand why the 7 marines had so much complexity. I figured that they'd have to address cooling and oiling anyway to accommodate their high duty cycles so why not go with a simple serviceable configuration with just three spiral bevel gears or better yet a twin spiral bevel setup like a #6 drive.

Ima Driva , dont no nuttin bout no sheenry , but Google says my 383 Chrysler is 6.2 Big block , but just saw a 442 cu in small block at SEMA , Im all confused

tha "big block, small block" nomenclature now daze is way different than when we (old guys) were inta hot rod $hit.......... LS combinations changed all that..........

ta me a big block is a big assed hunk of iron.. a "big block LS" is bored out, stroked small block in anyway shape or form... if its got 4 bolts holdin' tha valve covers on and siamese center exhaust ports itsa small block.... i'm an 'ole guy...........................

here ya go.. explained in perfect english!!!!!!...................................

jus ta be clear.. here's tha description of tha motors in gregs picture.....


These are built around highly-developed, marinised versions of General Motors’ fourth generation (Gen-IV) 6.2-litre, small block V8, mounted horizontally, which in automotive guise powers a range of GM vehicles, including the iconic Corvette. For New Zealand readers, versions of this engine are probably best known from Holden Special Vehicles’ (HSV) high-performance models. Sadly, Holden Australia stopped manufacturing cars in 2017.

that might be worth a try with the LT4 engine, but what's with the wheelie bar,wonder if it's got a tab on the end of it!

to put the elbow shoot for the propwash to blow the bottom clearing the sand and unvieling the shiney Booty laying the on the bottom making you a shipwreck salvor , very common along the Gold coast as the novice weekend warrior class of privateers install them that retract on a small navy of gold hunters.
