Marc's New Truck

Marc bought another truck to supplement his family fleet. It's a very pretty blue F-150. Nothing special, but being who we are, we had to take a look at the motor.

 

When I first saw it from the right hand side I thought it looked an inline four. Once you get over on the left hand side you can see that the big aluminum thing up on top is an asymetrical intake manifold. The two big, black, ribbed tubes you see in the foreground carry air from the air filter to the engine. There is a 302 V-8 in there, but it is was down low. This has got to be one of the strangest arrangements I have ever seen. There is more space in this engine compartment than in the interior of some small cars. 

P.S. It's not a new new truck, it's just a new to Marc truck.
