I cut my mechanical teeth on these monster straight 8s back in the fifties. I had my first paid job at a garage and the owner was very skilled and kind enough to walk me through each repair or adjustment he made. These engines were whisper quiet, had a lot of low and middle rpm torque and did not beat themselves up with high rpm operation. They could cruise all day at 60 mph and got about 16 mpg on low octane regular gas. They were hooked up to the then new fluid drive transmissions in Buick,Cadillac and Pontiac and Oldsmobile. Coupled with a two barrel single carburetor the cars with these engine/transmission setups were painfully sluggish around town and got poor mileage. As used here and in The US and Europe for every day transportation they were very dependable. There were some race teams that installed blowers and other hot rod stuff and were able to develop race cars using this type of engine. Some were so powerful they could lift the left front tire off the ground when they accelerated on a straight away. In the late fifties the engines were 'hopped up' for drag car use and could turn in upper nineties speed in the quarter mile.The real draw back in passenger car use was the sheer weight and size of the engine which didn't lend itself to being put in smaller cars. They became obsolete in the early fifties but served with distinction for many years prior to that time.

Como dice el dicho entre gustos y colores, no han escrito los autores. Pero después de ver otras restauraciones algunas recargadas de excesivo lujo innecesario por cierto, me hubiese gustado la pintura sin patina un parachoque alineado a la compuerta y el cajón con ese azul original y acabado en madera y no ese horrible color oxido. Perdonen la sinceridad esperaremos otro trabajo de uds y seguro me gustara. Valencia Venezuela. 23/08/2020.
