I saw someone asking for car posting, so I dug up some motor pics I had from cars I had. Can post your favorite engines you had or desire or just general motor talk here.

I really enjoyed my J vin B16A2 (VC was originally black I painted it red) I went from a more powerful power plant down to less than 2 litres displacement, but its true what they say about B16 being the torqueless wonder it completely changed my opinion on Honda. FB_IMG_1528350715859.jpg

I couldn't find any old pics of the motor, but the NA 6g72 3S I had was also a blast though working on it was horrible having bigger hands and Mitsubishi motors and parts are in short supply where I am.

At some point I also had a Toyota 5vz-fe its not really in the same caliber with the other two, but Toyota thought highly enough of it to compete with American v8 powertrains at the time I had painted and updated a lot of the vacuum lines and deleted the air silencer. Unfortunately I never sealed the intake tube better than duct tape, but it did the job.

My latest obsession though I have not aquired it yet is a Kawasaki Ninja ZX4RR at just a quarter of the displacement of a Honda B16 and a redline of 16,000RPMs it is sure to be a blast.
 
I do believe they are canning their v8s now lol. I have contemplated building a poor man's gt500 motor(lincoln DOHC 5.4l+eaton sc), but despite the name it still costs a fortune.
I say go for it, bro!
When you have the money, that is.
