looks like an european model- like something in a sports car- Ive seen one similar in a small haulage truck as well. Also If ya going to put your cylinders that close together why wounldn't you just make it a straight eight?- those intake ducts must be a barstard!
The coolest one of them all was this one ( pics). Found in a junkyard by John Willment http://www.willmentcars.com/ ( look in the link for the Cobra, the Galaxie, etc...) He had his team put the body on a lengthened Cobra Ch***is. ( to me, this is also one of the coolest Cobra Coupe's... )
We have a winner -- Metalshapes, I knew you were a man of the world. It's a Fiat 8V, short-run 2-liter engine built in the early-mid '50s. This one is in a Siata 208S Spider.
Rover Do you know the difference between Fiat 8-V motor and the Siata version? Answer in a week or so.....
Nope... Hint... Take a good look at the number of bolts holding down the Valve Cover. ( Its not a SBC either )
Dang, you guys are fast. OK, what this? Hint: It was not made in France but if it had been it would look the same.
Same here... And I'm guessing ( looking at the rear suspension )the H16 is in the back of a BRM, not the Lotus 43 that also used that Engine...
This a Simca motor...... I knew the engine was one-0-R'ns Siata/Fiats used different id#s They are really two 4's stuck together in many ways. AND very easy to beat kid old enough to run
