A lot of 348 motors were sold to the makers of combines, that old Massey may be hiding one

I need to look at more Masseys then. I was under the impression that they only came with 327's.

That would be a cool find.

Carl I think the 348 ended it's production in GM vehicles with the 1961 models, 409's were available and the 327's came on the scene in 1962 so the story is a lot of 348's were left over and sold to combine manufacturers. I am sure they didn't have tri-power though!

Wouldn't that have been something!

Tough enough keeping farm equipment in good operating condition without messing with 3 carbs. So many pieces of farm equipment sit about 11 months of the year and then are expected to work all out the other month of the year.
