When we consider ford falcon or holden commodore, tickford, fpv or hsv
When engine looks best under the hood? The holden v6 has always looked tiny under the hood, the i6 looked ok from the fuel injjected modes on. The boss 5.4 looks like a brute of a motor filling every square inch of space. The ls series seemed too small to overwelm visually. What is your favourite underbonnet greeting from commodore or falcon derivants. Post photos for everyones benefits. Please keep to stock underbonnet appearance or mild visual mods only. |

An engine that's easy to get your hands down between the block and the inner guard....That way, you're not ripping skin off left right and centre.
So I guess, that rules the boss out and to a certain extent the I6.

Since they started putting covers over the engines all you can see is a large blob of plastic and all the untidy looking ancillary stuff around it.
So for me, none of the above.

A boss does look quite menacing under the hood. I look at my 3V and think thats one mother of a motor, until I look at a boss.

Personally i like the boss engine bays. They always look good when tidyied up a little. My favourite would be pauls twin turbo fpv. Its just so tidy.
He inspired me to start tidying up my own engine bay

Nothing like a Cammer 427
  BUT for a Japper the S2000 is drool-worthy.

Hmm .. 426 Hemi with dual quads .. But as that is unavailable on the list I'd take the closest option .. The 5.4 .. If it's dark and you squint and look away really fast it kind of looks like a 426 (as big as one anyway).

Sorry, but while I don't mind a rotor, for the most part the engine bays are SUCH a disappointment.
Same same for any modern engine bay with a big plastic engine cover, kinda why I like the S/C 5.0's as it's one of the few stock engine bays without one these days. Panteras are awesome, not just cause of the clevo, but the whole bay looks great, with the transaxle sitting there too - looks kinda like an open ski boat with the whole powertrain on display |
