listen, i understand wanting to put poo poo in the valley. it's just normally wasted space but anytime someone does it, it's a delayed gently caress you to anyone who ever has to work on that engine

It is free real estate, so what would realistically not suck if you put it there?

air cleaner optionally, between the air cleaner on top and the v underneath, one or more carburetors, or perhaps a blower, or both also, intake headers of course, that's implied by the above e. technically, these things suck, lol

Dodge did the same thing with the coil packs on the viper  The Door Frame posted:It is free real estate, so what would realistically not suck if you put it there? The alternator at the front and the starter at the back  Jesus loving Christ Ford BMW Mercedes and Nissan engineers I'm joking don't do this

Yeah, the Northstar placed the starter there. Of course plenty of turbo motors (i.e. Ford Powerstroke) have turbo there for maximum thermal efficiency.

So did the Toyota UZ family of engines, but I give both them and GM a free pass on that because at least they didn't also put the alternator there. I don't think anyone has actually. I hope no one ever does.

Colostomy Bag posted:Of course plenty of turbo motors (i.e. Ford Powerstroke) have turbo there for minimum flat-rate efficiency. Fixed it for you. When you look at the packaging of the Pentastar, where else would you stick the integrated oil cooler/filter assembly? The exhausts and its cats are right there in the way of the block, plus the engine mounts. The accessory drive equipment is strewn all around the front two cylinders. Early Ford mods put the alternator down in the valley. It's mostly easy to get at though. The real answer is you put a bunch of flimsy engine sensors in the valley. Like knock sensors and cam/crank pick ups. So it's a 10 hour job to implement a fix.

I read the whole stupid thing. A different service center thought it looked like warranty work. Sounds like a lovely service manager who saw broken glass and opened his mouth before having the vehicle on front of him:

Beat those motherfuckers with a baseball bat. I tried to drive away but I couldn't get far cause the poorly placed starter wouldn't start my car. Can't drive this cause the starter is dead. I'm trying not to lose my head.
