Features engines exposed at the henry ford museum

In a new exhibit at the Henry Ford Museum, the engines are the stars of the show. Hoods are thrown open and we get to see the engines of many of the prized cars in the collection -- a rare treat. (This is a new and improved version of a show first done at the museum in 2010.) Check out these masterpieces.

Good stuff!

 

oohhh. Do you know how long that will be?

 

'Bout damn time!

 

Doni, March 15.

 

Ohio George!

 

Exactly right. It's awesome to consider that this car was competitive for nearly 10 years with three different engine combinations: Cadillac OHV V8, small-block-Chevy, and SOHC Ford.

 

And then he switched to a twin turbo'd Shotgun Mustang - effectively obsoleting every other AA/GS in existence - much to the dismay of many traditionalists.

 

Henry Ford Museum is still one of my all time favorite places!

There are some cool cars too.

 

Picture #13 says 1956 Chrysler 300B 331 CID Hemi NASCAR V8. Wouldn't that be a 354 and not a 331?

 

Yep! Thanks, good catch!

 

Engine Porn!! Number 1 Ford V8. What a sight to see.

 

All real nice...like the black roadster best!

 

Oh yeah, the famed Dick Smith Deuce roadster. In all the years I've been drooling over the car, this was the first time I've seen it with the hood open.
