[QUOTE="davidd, post: 44892, member: 1177"] Eddie, I think the engines were delivered without pipes to the car manufacturers and it looks like they may be 1-3/4", which seems like a good choice. Like you, I think the little tank might be for fuel, but only if it is being supplied from a larger tank with an electric pump. The F3 cars usually carried their fuel tanks high and behind the driver's head because most engines relied on gravity feed carbs. The twin would need a large fuel tank. There were Shadows and Lightning engines supplied to car makers and if you have the old MPH's you can find a good list at 420 MPH at page 16. The list is not as detailed as it should be to give us a hand in figuring out which engine this is. I have no knowledge of the where-abouts this car or engine. I am glad the photo came to light.
