I’m pretty sure that engine didn’t even have an electrical system at all. It had a hot tube ignition rather than spark ignition. There’s literally no electrical system on the car, so there’s nowhere to even hardwire it to. I guess you could place it on top of the engine or something; it would work just as well.

I have a hobby of collecting odd or just very old smaller engines, I’ve owned a few cars with some pretty odd engines, and I like reading about engines and cars in general. I also make my own designs on occasion. I will soon be going to college for a degree in mechanical engineering, concentration in automotive…

First Gear: *looks out window at 1987 Mercedes 190D Turbo project*

Hence the suggestion of a late ‘60s American wagon. Huge engine bays. I would estimate the size close to some of the semi-truck 6 cylinder diesels. While large, it would still be possible to put one in with some modifications. It’s the smallest production straight-7 engine.

You could always go to Europe and acquire an AGCO-Sisu 7 cylinder diesel and swap it into a brown late-60s Buick or similar large station wagon, with an Eaton Roadranger RTO-6610 10 speed overdrive manual (Would bolt up perfectly to the SAE housing on the diesel), and you would have a brown 10 speed manual 7 cylinder…

I feel like Eagle would be a more appropriate choice.

*Shithouse motors.

And start making some straight-7s. Now that’s an interesting engine configuration!

Not to mention: The Detroit Diesel 6-71, AMC/Jeep 4.0, Mercedes OM606, Chevy Stovebolt Six, and the BMW N57S.

Sometime after a nuclear apocalypse, someone will find this thing and get it out somehow, and there will be a perfect condition G-wagen driving around.

I don’t see why they didn’t just use a normal gasket, with graphite/composite all the way across, and rings around each passage. For this application, considering the amount of power involved, I don’t see why Ford didn’t just O-ring the block and use copper gaskets.

Being a Unix-based system, OSX is most similar to Linux. Ubuntu be the closest in my opinion. IOS is like Android if they decided to split the top menu into multiple menus, one for notifications, and one for other things such as the flashlight. The multiple menus idea is really dumb since you have to slide up out of…

My C10 has... A clock and a CB radio. That’s about it aside from the EFI tuning screen, which is not stock.

I told you it was real. Somebody told me that I was an idiot, but I was right.

Around here on the east coast there are TONS of older Chevys, Buicks and Cadillacs, and even a few Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs, including two Oldsmobiles with the “infamous” 5.7 diesel. There’s even a DeSoto and a Packard that drive around regularly that aren’t even restored. A landscaping company uses a 1935 Chevy…

My engine (550HP 11:1 compression 350 SBC) requires premium or else it will detonate.

I don’t know what kind of asphalt you have on the roads in your state, but around here, the asphalt is filled with little nooks and crannies for the studs to get a grip on.

My engine is still 0.4 liters too large. I think it would still work, however, as it starts fine on a 900 CCA battery.

Dacia. Dacia is definitely better than Oltcit. If we can count 4x4s, though, Aro wins.

We’re not talking about a normal road here. This is Main St., and has a speed limit of 10 mph. When there’s any cars on it the traffic makes it closer to 5. This street is basically a continuous traffic jam and it moves slowly enough that the turkeys basically move freely among the cars. Literally the only way to move…
