Fun game! Indentify this motor!

The fuelie I posted a few pages back... carries Merc badging on the valve covers and top of the injection housing and was neatly fitted into a 280SL thats why I called camo

Isn't the one pic not a V16, but the H16??

BL late A-Series in the seat of an MG Midget. The other in the passenger is also an A-Series, but an older one. They have non-Spridget intake/exhaust pieces.

Correct-ish. This one is from a 908/02. Could be used in a 907/908 too.

That has to be a Porsche flat 8 from the 908. I don't konw it for sure, but the look of the trumpets, the air shroud etc all scream Prosche to me.

In reply to Adrian_Thompson:

There are only so many W12's. There's an alternate picture on the wikipedia page.

No, not Mopar. Right idea, wrong continent.

You can, you just have to be really, really lucky and in the right place at the right time.

I'd like to say that it was massive amounts of talent and charm that got me here but really, it was networking and an insane amount of luck.

Now that's the Toyota limousine mini-hemi. Here with a fabricated intake manifold.

In reply to PS122:

Yup. Toyota 3V hemi V8.

I'm done for awhile, going to go savor my half of an internet cookie.

This one is driving me crazy! The fact that its on display in what seems to be a museum might mean that its not standard issue?

Ok, I think I've figured it out! I noticed that the throw out lever opening on the bell housing was on the wrong side, and that the green car in the back ground was RHD. Then the light bulb in my head light up!

Aussie chrysler I6 Hemi!

In reply to HappyAndy:

You got it.

Next one

In reply to HappyAndy:

Datsun A series. That one is probably in a forklift.

Another Hemi:

In reply to Curmudgeon: it is not an A series

Not an F1 engine this time YOu guys must rememebr these, I loved them as a kid, has many happy hours crashing planes with these in

I don't konw these furin engines, but it's obviously a Datsun thing according to the cam cover. I'll guess a little 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 ish from an old 510, Sunny etc But, it doesn't look like an automotive engine bay, SSoooooo, big leap of faith, it's a marine version?

That one looks like a Daimler V8 as used in the Dart as such.
