Best looking engines

Sometimes I'm more interested by the oily bits than the outside of a car. What engines do you find interesting, intriguing or just sexy?

Dusenberg straight 8:

Original LT5 ZR1 engine:

SHO V6:

ITB LSx:

So nice it blends in anywhere....

Bugatti Type 35

I've always been partial to stationary engines. The older ones are beautiful.

The attention to detail is amazing.

Miller V16. I've personally worked on this engine.

Miller engines were always real nice to look at.

It may not run, but it is nice to look at.

The Daimler Dart V8 is neat looking

some of the old ones with exposed valve gear are neat as well.

R2800:

any LS engine that doesn't have a stupid plastic cover over it. even the big truck intakes have a kind of graceful ugliness about them..

How about an alfa v8?

Those aren't really for looking at, they're for listening to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXFm166ov-E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhnqAp3gfWw

Rolls Royce Merlin

Ford Flathead

Damn, Fueled by Caffeine, you beat me to it!

I'm a sucker for crinkle-finish paint.
