Post by: SOB/RFH on January 04, 2007, 22:47:59 pm
Volksworld feb 2007. Irelands mighty white cool Cal-looker......................look at the photo of the engine (pix from left side of engine). It does not get any cleaner!! The short manifolds, the 010 ditributor, the DDS carb linkage, black and bare magnesium. Clean, simple pure function.......That is hardcore. So come on and let us know the insight on hard core engine bays of your dream or memories!!!

Greg Brinton's 2387 Supeflo engine has always been one of my favorites, followed by Jeff Denham's 3066cc (90x103) type 1 sleeper engine.

John Dean's Super Beetle 1776 IDA motor has always been my favorite.
DUMPR

This has been my favourite since I saw it 20 years ago. In fact I copied it for my cal-looker 15 years ago.
The whole car rocks

You have good taste Jim
