    Hidden by the valve cover, intake is on the far side, note the spark plugs on this side. Air cleaner has been removed. It’s a straight-4.

        Yup, and you had to regularly check the water level in it.

        The car is probably something like a Chevy II.

            😁 Those dinky little engines were tough, run forever.

            Mine was a chevy pickup with the Straight-6 and three on the tree.

                Not a fan of cars personally, but I love seeing others chatting about something they clearly enjoy, and I love this conversation between you two.

                My dream car is a Chevelle with the straight-six, Brazilian turbo manifold, and a mega squirt computer. One day, maybe.

                230 straight-six is my favorite engine.

                • Bundle of snakes for the intake? I had to look that one up. I figured it wasn’t a wax and shave for the engine bay. Good ECM choice, super customizable. Don’t stop looking. You never know when deals show up. I’m 2 years in and nowhere near finished, just got to keep waiting for the right prices. Better slow than never.
