Forget your rumbling V6s, shouty V8s and shrieking V12s - let's see pics of your old-school four-bangers. (Not Googled images, show us YOURS!) From one of my old 19 16v Chamades:  From my mkV RS2000:  From one of my mkIII XR3s:  From my mkII Cortina:  From my NA MX-5:  From my 2002 Touring, with socks...  ...and without:  OK... GO! |

Photo-of-a-photo low res shocker... I've never really been one for remembering to take pics of my cars, least of all engines, but I did manage to take one of the first Mi16 205 that I built years ago..  I think I must have been feeling pleased with myself at the time, as it was the first loom stitch and injected engine swap I'd done! Joe |

I'm a Ford man when it comes to four pots normally, I do love a nice Crossflow, especially on twin 40's. My old one  The zetec that replaced it - lovely motor, but it'll never match the pushrod sound!  But if I'm honest the best sounding, and maybe the best looking as well? has got to be the old Alfa twink, especially in GTV form! Was never mine, but used to be my friends, god I miss that car!  |

I built this 1720cc x-flow that I had in my old Anglia van.  Replacing it with this 1600cc BDA which sounded pretty sweet.  |

Isn't this basically the same as the "show us your engines" thread that's running?
