Re: Something strange in every stash
Hmm? To make it easier to pull the shroud for an engine-in oil cooler replacement?

Re: Something strange in every stash
The distributor appears to have been rotated about 90*. Maybe to clear something? Generator pulley also looks a little large, or at least with most shims missing.

The engine was in a Fiberfab Avenger, didn't fit, they made it fit.

Re: Something strange in every stash
I had one one time where it had a 356 engine, but apparently whoever did this one felt the need to modify.

The fan shroud was modified for one of those extremely rare flat-sided impellers. You scored Adam!
