Re: Conley engine owners

Re: Conley engine owners
Tekne10, not sure if the question is for me... I go by Igg not Niceee... Lol
Most Conley's I've seen on eBay or sold have started at 2500 and have gone up to 4-5K depending if blower or no blower...

I seen this one at a car show. It was sitting on a table top. I even touched it when the owner wasn't looking!!! LOL
Re: Conley engine owners
Hey guys, a question popped in my mind yesterday - Is there any 1/4 car except conley's t-bucket, 34 ford and the "Grave Digger" on youtube that has a Conley 609 in it?
Just curious... any pics if you have would be great

And the fact that thay runn snd eork is outstanding. ...one item I know I could never own but would like to. .. owe to get the lottery numbers right then I would. ..

Re: Conley engine owners
Some great looking builds ,,A Conley engine is on my list .
Can someone give a opinion on performance of these V8 engines?
I have seen a lot on YouTube running on the bench ,but how responsive are they in a 20-30lb hotrod for example ? I mean will they push the car with some authority ?

Re: Conley engine owners
They are a novelty item and I would not recommend running them often. They also spit nitro fuel over everything.

Re: Conley engine owners
The main problem is parts availability. If you break something on the motor, you most likely will not be able to get parts.

No parts available that is disheartening ,,
