Nostalgic 348

[Stab-n-Steer]

After seeing SWW's 409 I thought I'd post some pics of my 348 that's going in my '58 Beezer... The boat's not quite done but the motor is ready to drop in. Next season I got an offy six-two manifold with six 97's going on it... Now that will be nostalgic (if I don't set myself on fire!)
Sorry about the crappy resolution.

Nice engine but that shop looks sweet! Your mill looks to be just a tad cleaner then mine http://free.***boat.net/ubb/smile.gif And yes I did notice that rotory phase converter sitting there. Lets see some more pics of that place. I bet you have some cool wall art.
Oh, the 97's will top that right off in your '58. I had a '60 Kingswood wagon that had that engine in it. (not near that snazzy) That was a fun car. Black with black tinted windows, slammed with old Americans.

Nostalgic is just as (if not more) pretty than mega HP. Nice job - looks sweet!

Thanks guys,
She's no record setter but it'll push that little 16' Biesemeyer as fast as you can stand...
A little 348 trivia - A 1959 Impala powered by a 348 won the 1960 Daytona 500. Anyone care to guess you was the driver???
SuperDave, Yeah, I'm pretty proud of my shop I pretty much live out there. I'll post some more pics latter.

Junior Johnson?
Lee Petty won in 59, first year of the big track at daytona.
Stabber,
I'll bet she'll smoke my dock beater. That engine looks beautiful. Great job.
Nice shop too!

Old Rig,
Bingo! Man you are the historian on cars as well as boats! I met Junior Johnson at a PRI trade show a few years ago. He spoke at the opening breakfast. When he told us he won the 1960 Daytona 500 with a 348 I cracked up. That's supposedly the race inwhich "drafting" was first used. When I was growing up with the old Biesemeyer my friend's dad had a Tahiti jet with a 455 Olds in it. He use to tell me that his dad said that my dad's boat was powered by an old boat anchor! I wish I would have known then that it had won the Daytona 500!
