I like the graceful curves in the split 'bones.

neat piece of engineering......

real different too....

 

[Arkansawer]

Yeah very different, but pretty cool all at the same time. Not for a big guy like me thats for sure, lol. I couldnt imagine having to get all oiled up just to get in a car.

Can anyone identify that motor?

 

[Unkl Ian]

Looks like a pushrod 4 cyl,could be a 1600 Ford.
AKA "Kent" motor.

Commonly used in Cortinas,and Fiestas.
A few were put in early Pintos.

The exhaust is kinda interesting.
It would confuse more people if the motor was completely covered.

 

[BIGGLES!]

I like it!

Oh dear my twisted little mind is making plans on how I would do something similar... must put a muzzle on the little voices in my head

All I can tell ya is that the exhaust valves are in the block ,an the intakes are overhead.. other than that the blue painted valve cover is throw'n me off, maybe an MG or a Volvo....?
