You know...I kinda like this....

The builder of the mustang needs kicked in the face...repetedly...

I was debating whether to include that one or not. I actually kind of like it too. Ended up going with Scott's theory of "Screw it, I'll throw it up there anyway!" Fastback Miata's are actually a minor trend.

Where´s the motor hiding ?

What was that in a former life?

Jag inline 6?

Jag inline 6?

With 1 turbo for each exhaust port?!

Saw a Jag 6 .. Looked like that.. This has 6 lines going to (?) cylinders. Injectors? Might be a diesel 6?
Twin cam on top... I really don't know.. Nobody else ventured a guess. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained"
Pretty sure plugs go between the cams. Hard to tell..

I wasn't questioning your guess. Just pointing out all the turbos in there. How much boost can one engine ingest before the block splits apart? Enquiring minds what to know.

Could be compounding.. One driving the other, but I doubt it as both turbos have jackets on the exhaust side..
Alotta turbo for a sixer... Probably lags big time
Was a local guy who had a damn fast turbo'd 4 banger mustang, beat everybody on a rolling start but had a hard time spooling up on the line.. That was a turbo that was waaay too big but boy did he move!

Yep, they are compounded. Follow the outlet of the 3rd one from the left, it goes directly into the intake of the first from the left.

Not quite sure how I feel about this one. It's definitely hacked together, but it's hacked for function over form - for the most part. I kinda like it.

Better than a bunch of leaf blowers.......

Some of it is pretty ugly....

Yeah, he really needs to learn some basic bodywork skills. I like what he's done, but not how he's done it so much if that makes sense. It wouldn't have taken much more effort to clean things up some.
