26

Hints:

1)That’s not a turbocharger

2)The hood is a bitch and a half to close on this fucking car

EDIT: Party-vi wins it with the SN95 Mustang with the V6. His prize is absolutely nothing.

Subaru six cylinder?

Right on the cylinders, wrong on the brand.

Ford motorcraft radiatot hose, rwd, appears to have 5 intake runners. The power steering and the shape of the intake make me think 5.0 but only having 5 runners is weird.

Volvo 850 or something like that is my guess.

SN95 V6 ‘Stang?

Ford looking to me. Not sure what model, though I'd say from late 90s/early 00s.

I’m going to go with Ford something or another. Probably a truck or T-bird/Cougar, since that looks like an Essex V6 mounted longitudinally. (Top alternator and the mount bracket are giveaways on this)

I’m fairly certain that is in fact a turbocharger

2001-ish Mustang, 3.8L V-6.

I knew that would give it away.

Nope, not a Volvo.

It was actually a 2000.

Yup.

I got the engine family right (Essex 3.8), and the orientation (N-S). I even remembered it was installed in the Thunderbird and the Cougar.

It would have been funnier if it was an T-Bird application.

Not the most powerful, but fairly reliable if maintained well.

Yeah, it hasn’t had too many problems, other than the battery dying over the winter last year. I was actually going to hook up a trickle charge to it today, but it looks like my mum doesn’t have a socket wrench, so I can’t disconnect the negative cable.

Well I see that it’s already been guessed. Happy to know I wasn’t too far off, I was going to guess V6 Taurus.

It definitely is. I’m going to get a tatoo of one.

Either La Ferrari or Gulfstream G5.

Gulfstream G6, actually.

The tiki god behind the radiator hose must be some kind of clue... what kind of car requires an on-board religious symbol to operate successfully?
