I drew this about 15 years ago in Photoshop. It's a Ford 144/170/200 six from the 60's & 70's. I want to try a Wing engine - someday...

And one more - this is the transmission from my '90 Taurus SHO, "unfolded" to show all the gears. In reality, the top and bottom gear shafts both engage the big differential gear.
