@checkerboardrod Correct-a-moondo muchacho! In fact it also was an OHV engine with crossflow heads.

@scotsmaninusa No, a shoebox is a shoebox. However, the Fords and Chevys of that era were both considered "shoebox" cars. The 265 was obviously not the first v8, but his knowledge of the tri-five cars is quite extensive.

@classicmetalworks not really.1917 was the first chevy v8 but GM did one 3 year before in the caddy.a shoebox was a ford.

Nice man, very nice. I've always wanted a car like this but it's almost impossible to get such a car here where I'm from...

NICE ol school chevy! He really knows his tri-fives too.

meaning yes, its mounted correctly, but incorrect in the context of originality. the 55 &6 hoods are so beautiful, i hate seeing them compromised for the sake of 1/4 mile times. im working on a hinge on my 56 that will lift the back of the hood to release wake turbulence and then return to stop upon slower speeds.

The first V8 made by Chevrolet was in 1917
Series D Engine, 288 Cid 36 HP(net)
As per Chevrolet, they put out around 3000 V8 motors between 1917-1919.
Of course the gentleman driver is also correct. Chevrolet came out with the V8 again in 1955 and the rest is history.
