Saturday, October 24, 2009 was a day the world’s attention was focused on the number 350. According to a Democracy Now! report by Sharif Abdel Kouddous–filling in for his comrade Amy Goodman–activists from across the globe held rallies to “call on world leaders to take strong measures at the upcoming climate talks in Copenhagen.”
I’ve found that nothing featured on Democracy Now! is ever 100% truthful.
Thus it’s not even worth listening too.
What about 42? Is it just chopped liver?
I thought it was the number nineteen! Calypso Louie explained it all!
350 - A pretty good size for an offensive lineman.
350 - A great GM engine.
350 - A solid Ford F-series truck
Let’s see:
260
283
289
302
327
340
350
351
360
383
396
400
413
426
427
440
460
That about covers it.
Tried to get all the big 3 in.
I’m wactcing out for number one.
Well, watching out for number one is a good rule. But if you don’t want to step in it, you need to watch out for number two.
265 (corvette)
305 (every gm)
323 (5.3)
330 (olds 442)
348 (the “other” impala engine)
378 (6.2 LSx)
409 (impala ss)
572 (had to include the ZZ572 monster)
I’m sure there are plenty more people could nitpick, but I’m 23 meaning many of these ceased production before I was born, and I still know they shouldn’t be left out.
LOL Good point.
I was going to mention the 265 and 305 but wouldn’t have gotten the others. It seems like there might be some giant Cadillac V8’s that are still missing.
Pontiac? 347, 370, 389, 428
Weren’t the 348 and 409 the same design with canted valves and the cool looking valve covers. I forgot all about them.
Pontiac had a 347 and a 428? Ford had a 428 which I forgot about but Pontiac’s Super Duties were 421 and 455 weren’t they?
I mentioned 400 but I was thinking of the Chevy’s small/big block 400’s not the great Pontiac RAM AIR III’s and IV’s.
You’re right the 472 and 500. My parents had a 472. Torque for days but bad metallurgy in 68. Had to have the top end and cam replaced in less than a few years.
I deliberately left off things like the smog motors the 305 and 307.
You forgot the Ford 429. Different engine than the 427 and 428. Think it was more akin to the 460.
Had one in 1970.
My all-time favorite..283. Short stroke, instant revs.
The 347 was used in 1957 only; 428 in 66-69
Aluminum flywheel, solid lifters, racing cam, — blown clutch, instant amputation.
