Engine Shots

Took a trip down south to California to get a break from snow scraping and was lucky enough to have to go to an amazing shop/manufacturer/restorer who specialize in re-creating new Eleanors out of any old existing Mustang fastbacks with an existing vin #. The beauty is they create almost all new panels out of their own Carbon Fiber and new frame suspension and multi engine combos. Also had everything else there working on from usual 57 Belairs to 55 Chrysler wagon to their own Defenders. amazing shop.

Did you know that the 1932 Pierce Arrow is fitted with a powerful Cummins HA 6-cylinder engine?
This 1932 Pierce Arrow was produced at the beginning of a revolution in the automotive and engine industries.
Boasting around 125 horsepower from the factory, its engine parts were made from large chrome, nickel, and iron blocks!
They made a small and large version of this engine, with the smaller engine being a four-cylinder, 448 cubic inches, and the bigger one being a six-cylinder, 672 cubic inches. This engine also came with state-of-the-art pushrod-actuated injectors, meaning that the injectors were being run by the pushrods as the engine was running.

Name that engine.
Hint: Only 48 were ever cast.
And most were hors de combat after the 1963 NASCAR season. Today perhaps three complete examples still exist.

427 Mystery motor. GM entered a racing ban in 1963 so it was never used. The Hemi was banned in 1964 because they weren’t available in any production car and SOHC was to exotic according to big Bill.

Electronic fuel injected AMC 327 V8.....from 1957!
This particular engine was a showpiece from the New York Auto Show of that year, although AMC had plans to offer this engine in the 1957 Rambler Rebel.
The EFI version of the 327 was fitted with Bendix's 'Electrojector' system, which had been in development since around 1955.
The Electrojector system was of a port-type, batch fire layout, with each cylinder having its own fuel injector pointing down into the intake ports.
AMC used a single throttle body, with a dual point distributor controlling both the firing of the ignition system and injectors.
A very basic (by modern standards) ECU managed the entire system, although it gave AMC problems.
In real-world use, the wax coated capacitors inside the ECU would melt from normal underhood temperatures, and the cold starting system Bendix employed was never completely satisfactory.
It used a thermal "choke" with a bimetallic coil spring and a fast idle cam, much like carburetors of the day.
Unfortunately, this design didn't start reliably enough on cold days to gain approval from AMC executives for regular production.
Alas, due to the aforementioned drivability issues, the EFI option for the 327 was scrubbed at the last minute (in favor of a Carter WCFB 4-barrel carburetor instead).
Chrysler played around with a dual throttle body version of the Electrojector system as well, although Management eventually came to the same conclusions as AMC-novel idea, but expensive and not quite ready for the public in the 1950s.
However, it wouldn't be long before Bosch licensed the Electrojector designs from Bendix.
They refined the system and eventually turned it into what became Bosch's trademarked (and far more successful) D-Jetronic EFI system beginning in 1968.
