I'll let the guess go for about a week. Then tell.

A week is way too long.

My guess is a flat top ford V-8 with a bad plug in cylinder 5 and single exhaust.

Hrm...maybe I should listen to it first.....

For some reason I could only get maybe 1 -2 seconds of the sound clip. It is definetly a large cubic inch engine. I would like to hear it a little longer. From the tiny clip I could hear I would say something like a 555ci big block Chevy.

Sounds like the 11.5:1 solid roller cam Chevy 355 I had, open headers.

I'm guessing that its a heavily built Hemi.

It will probably turn out to be a lawn mower engine or something. Maybe one of those scale model V-8's . . .

It's a 1963 International Harvester combine with an exhaust leak. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :D

Its a gallon Milk Jug with three wooden balls being shaken around slowly.

Or a flathead with the ARDUN conversion, at idle with strait headers.

Either one. :D

Mercruiser

No more guesses so HwyStar is the closest. It IS a Mercruiser. We used the block and built a solid flat tappet 357 race engine.

Could of sworn it sounded like a roller cam. Mercruiser make their own engines or is it a Chevy 350?

One of my "Mercruisers" is a GM 350 - and one isn't... :D
