What is the most aesthetic classic engine?
It doesn't have to be American or a V8. Post your favorites.
DeSoto Firedome V8 is pretty handsome, desu
I also like the Olds 303 Rocket. Green and gold have never looked better

Nothing's classic about a VTEC, but thank you for contributing.
Offenhauser
Gonna be hard to beat a Ford 427 with Pent Roofs
>>16449329

>>16449353
first VTEC car engine was 1989 thats a classic
>>16449402
My fucking 1990 chevy celebrity is technically a classic, but most people wouldn't call it one.
>>16449408
most people dont know what a Chevy Celebrity is either
its still a classic at nearly 30 years old
>>16449408
1990 was 27 years ago.
>>16449436
what point are you trying to make here?
>>16449450
you act like it was 10 years ago
>>16449259

...how?
Show an average person that wagon, how many people do you think are going to call it a classic? I'm willing to bet the majority of them will be calling it an old car.
Show an average person a VTEC engine, they most likely won't think of it as an old engine. Now show an average person an old v8 with a chromed air cleaner, or a flathead i6, packard straight 8, essentially anything with a carb on it, they'll most likely be able to tell you that it's an old engine from the look of it alone.
and the definition of 'classic' doesn't mean anything 25 years or older.
>>16449320
Not asthetic, looks like every single toyota engine
>>16449480
>and the definition of 'classic' doesn't mean anything 25 years or older.
to most DMV's and the DOT it does.
>>16449480
sorry but your opinion doesnt change facts
of course old carbed shit are classic because theyre all old
>>16449485
Show me another toyota engine that looks like the 4a. It's the epidemy of 80 engine aesthetics.
>>16449500
and of course your opinion doesn't change facts either.
That is the vtec is a horrible looking engine with the aesthetic of a cardboard box.
Check mate homo. King Me.

Toyota 1G-GEU
>>16449577
Now this is sexy
Something pretty rare that I doubt many have seen is the Mercury Super Marauder engine.
Also, the Chrysler Firepower makes me sweat.
>>16449506
Not even the other guy but he is right. 4a and 7m look identical

That engine is not classic. Please stick with the theme.
>>16449506
>epidemy
>>16449402
The first hemi was from 1951. Does that make a hemi made this year a classic? The F20C is not classic.
>>16449968
>not classic

Just because the government says 25 years mean classic doesn't mean it's right
>>16450031
no shit, thats why i posted the definition of classic, fuckface
>>16450034
Damn bro I can feel your blood pressure through the internet, take it easy before you kill yourself.
>>16450006
You poster a newer engine, though. And when I started the thread and asked for classic engines, I posted examples. I never said I was going by the arbitrary 25-year-rule.
>Pontiac Strato-Streak V8
>>16450036
I can feel my dick in ur nans ass through real life, take it easy before my sperm are your siblings

He said every other engine. The 7m is basically a 4a with two other pistons attached.
>>16450159
>>16450165
Why the FUCK did it take this long for based Busso V6 to get posted?
Shame on you, /o/.

426 Hemi with short cross ram manifold.
>>16452106

>>16449909

>>16452984
heavy spindly shiny "chrome" errywhere
>not ghastly
im not saying it`s ugly, but its very something an american would fancy. it simply doesnt look like an actual engine you would use, but something for boomers to parade around in car shows. that e30 m54 swap is actually being driven and doing burnouts.
>>16450001
no one posted a F20
that was obviously a B18C5 which sure is only 21 years old
pic related is 28-29 years old
its a classic
>>16451970
because its a 90s engine and its not a classic apparently
>>16453268
I've always loved the Espace F1, obviously because of GT2 but also because it was driven by Jean Ragnotti and was an insane concept that was actually built and driven.
BUT HOLY FUCK THAT'S DUMB ENGINE PLACEMENT!!! Those ITBs would just suck the face of anyone sitting in there and/or make them deaf by vaccuming the shit out of their eardrums.
>>16453313
It's an Espace body literally plonked on top of an F1 chassis, what do you expect?
>>16450020
Holy shit! I've seen the flat 16 in person but had never seen the tarbo flat 12. That shit looks THICC!!! Look at that massive single wastegate and that sweeat-ass plumbing.
I now have an obelisk hidden in my pants.
Aussie Hemi Six.
>>16452854
>TFW someone on /o/ posts an almost identical setup to yours
Feels good mane. Although I wouldnt say the G13B is specially aesthetic, it is a damn awesome and underrated engine.
>>16452882
Shitty plastic doesn't equal aesthetic retard and wire tucking is just gay, try again.
>>16453538
shitty chrome and godawful air cleaners dont look good either
>>16453573
I was gonna fite you but then you post that. And that is aesthetic indeed.
Built air-cooled VW, believe this a 2276 cc
>not posting os-giken dual cam l28 with itb
