A look at some "movements" on display
A few days ago I posted 25 Credor watches and asked PuristS to see if you could appreciate the beauty of the dials. Today I was planning on providing a look at Credor movements, but I dodged the computer and went to a car show instead (as car guys do).
I wandered around the grounds appreciating the hard work that has gone into many of the cars on display. To give the owners credit for their "under the scenes" labors (as we would the decoration on a fine movement), I decided to share only the engines - to keep it reasonable.
Please let me know which number YOU prefer.
BTW, this first shot is a 57 Chevy Nomad. The rest of the car was gorgeous, but I have never seen a better "front end" - meaning the radiator support, radiator, condenser and associated catch tanks. The tank on the right side is the reservoir for the power steering pump. Notice that even the hood hinges are cast and polished aluminum, with tiny vertical gas shocks.

Here is my 1930 model A ford running a 383 stroker.
This is probably in the 400 HP range. Set up for show and go. 1930 Model A ford ...
My favourite is the engine bay of the Pantera (# 26) for its lean look (as also done superbly on Bill's car)
The Nomad (# 1) looks great, but I prefer to have modern techniques a bit toned down on classic car based vehicles, like seen with the BelAir (# 29). Most other engine bays shown are for me let down by "unsorted" fluid and electrical lines (criss-crossing...
#s 16, 20, and 36 for me, Mike . . .
. . . Mopar all the way, with a shout-out for the Buick GS (#19). Tough to beat a 440 Six Pack . . . only a 426 Hemi exceeds, in my book. There's an Offenhauser Dual Port small block Chrysler manifold on eBay auction right now . . . might snipe it at the ...
One more shout-out: #39 . . .
. . . for the minimalist approach to a Rochester induction set-up. Not much for Chevy's, but original fuelies are way cool. Art
That appealed to me too, in its minimalistic look
Very much resembles the original FI Corvette
