The Offical Engine Bay Thread

Show off your favorite pics of air cooled engine bays.

Here is mine...

Unconventional colour scheme, but I like it :)

It's never finally done!

You said Air Cooled.......

Maybe not favorite, but mine.

(Left) IM with her new 2110
(Right) My old JPS with 1.7 bus engine.

This is the only shot I could find...odd? 2615cc Type4 w/DTM cooling. 200+ HP

This is a Vintage with the normal black painted interior walls. I added a sign in German, " Warning keep your hair out of the fan!" There is also a Ralph Steadman graphic reproduced and slapped on the fan shroud.

On the other side of the backwall is an Acusump pre-oiler as well as my auxillary oil cooling fan. The engine lid has been opened up for more air-flow and is surface hinged and completely removable.

Not exactly an engine bay but a Bad Boy nonetheless........ask Jimmy Dean (not the sausage king)......

Before... After.

some great looking engine bays...

Is that a plastic fuel filter I see in the engine compartment of your Porsche David? I could be stepping out of line here, but I think that's a fire waiting to happen. Just my opinion.

Here is my 2110-cc built by myself with my own 911 shroud design!

Looks like fun David!; is the thermostat/flap system hooked up?

Wow!!...

I really need to get my engine looking better. Guys, those are some sweet looking motor's!

Yeah, my engine is pretty boring - about everything's black.

 

My diesel truck, on the other hand, looks like a plumber's nightmare..........

Here's mine on video...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9QbF1QiMZs&list=UUBe9cmEpdO8b9Bta04bia8w&index=10&feature=plcp

Six and a half year old thread...
