Engine Pictures
« on: July 30, 2006 - 11:22:34 AM »
Since buying my Nash bridges Cuda a couple of months ago , I have worked to improve it the the best I can. One of the areas that I have prioritized has been the engine; I wanted to make it a little more stock looking. Here are a few pics of the motor.

Yep - she looks good to go to me. Is that a high output Denso alternator?

One of the reasons I'm hesitent about the shaker setup - I didn't see a motor in these pictures.
I may be schizophrenic,
but at least I have each other

I don't know, that's not something I replaced.

I agree, shakers look cool until you lift the hood. :2cents:
Nothing like the unobsructed view of a clean engine.

There is nothing like seeing that sexy shaker when you pop the hood, even better is when a 426 Hemi is attached to it.

I've always like the shaker Hemi and would love to put one in my Cuda. I'll just have to settle for my 340 till I win the lottery.

The cap came off a 35mm roll of film container. It fits right on and I have yet to loose one and protects the underside of the hood from the spring.

No I didn't take any pics before I started on it. Mostly just replaced some parts [ belts, hoses, clamps, plug wires etc.] and a little paint touch up. Same thing with the interior and underside.
