Okay, last time was too easy and you got it very quickly. This time is a lot tougher, it's just the engine so name the engine make not the car.

A big clue is my knee and elbow.

I have no clue - but if I'm interpreting that engine layout correctly, that exhaust gasket seems like it might be a bit restrictive.

All I can think of now is, "Heads, elbows, knees, and toes, KNEES, AND TOES!"

Second option is the new Lotus V8.

Definitely a racecar engine. I thought for sure it would be one of the 2012 Indycar engines, but it doesn't look like the Honda or Chevrolet. I can't find a great picture of the Lotus, but it doesn't look like that, either.

It looks massive compared to your elbow and knee.

It does run better with out that gasket

Nope, hot a Honda or a Chevy

Next clue: the reason you see my know and elbow is that it is not in the car. If it were in the car it would be a dead give away.

Where's Maroon92? He should be able to win just because of is hooniverse participation. (They play this game all the time over there)

Appears to be an Indy Lights engine. There are just about zero pictures of this engine on the internets.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that it's based on an infiniti q45 motor to satisfy the rules of the challenge.

This is actually pretty fun because the OP is clearly using pictures from his personal stash rather than reposting stuff he found on the web. This renders my google-fu impotent. Reverse image search is of no use!

Which makes OP infinitely more interesting. Why does he have stashes of pics like this?
