"Show your engine" picture thread.

Especially before/after upgrades and mods or dirty/clean.
Here is mine. Totally stock from what can be seen.

Very nice. Mine used to look like this, I've been waiting for magic elves to come along and scrub the dirt and dinginess off of it. Probably isn't going to happen. I love the way you got the "Porsche" on the fan belt to stop in exactly the right spot.

And your sound blankie is hung up nicely - golf clap!!!

Jim,
The Ford tractors for REAL men had the distributor on the front of the engine, right next to the spinning fan blades (8N or 9N?) just like their Flathead Ford V8 brethren. That distributor is for woosies.
I wish I still had my 9N. And my Farmall Cub. and....

What are the offsets on those? Do you think those will fit under the rear of my 90 C4 Widebody with a 33 x 12.50 - 15?
(dang it, six lugs, guess I will need adapters - probably will screw up the offsets)

Apologies to the OP - we have messed up your thread. But, it's Friday, and I needed some relief from WORK.

Actually, I have Three. But who's counting. (I don't think my wife is... she thinks the two black cars are the same one).
OK - I will post some real pics, soon.
