The 4200 is a good engine, but don't they look kind of ugly for an early car. With all the plastic covers, casting bumps they look strange to me. You open the hood on new cars and could be electric or a wind up motor for all you can see.
I just think of all the modern street rods that use covers to hide the engine.
Does not look like a mean nasty high horsepower engine.
Just my thoughts
Harry,
Guess you have not seen a recent picture of my 4200...
Once you toss the plastic air box, pull the intake/cam cover and then put some paint on them they start looking better.
Just ask some of the guys that were at Colorado Springs last summer...
Are you saying a Jag inline DOHC six is ugly .. its got the same bumps as the 4200... ( just curious if you got the same opinion of ladies with bumps in the right places... haha)
Having started with a 292 - then moving on to the 4200 - I wouldn't go backwards period.
Lots of room in the C10 to install the 4200 and it'll look no more out of place than if a LS went in. Plus the number of people that stand around going what is it... draws people in.
Try one day you might like it...
