The movie or the engine? ;)

But I agree, it is not one of Fords more elegant engines. Nothing that 
some plastic can't fix though ;)

This one is somewhat interesting too, with a redline of 8250, and 
exceptionally compact design.

Unfortunately the audi V engines are very wide in the lower parts.

This one would probably be a handful to fit:

Looks like is picked from the space shuttle or something.

Cheers,
Thomas
