V4 Engine

[Mechbuilds]

Here's my V4 engine build.

Features:

-Alternator
-Water pump
-Crank pulley/fan
-Belt and tensioner
-Fully functioning pistons that move with the crankshaft
-Carburetor on top
-Distributor on back
-Siamese exhaust like the original ford 15/17M engine.












Next i need to figure out what's the smallest possible 4 speed gearbox i can attach to it.. 
There were no custom or cut parts used.

Quick update:

Silly me.. The waterpump/alternator/fan should spin as the engine spins.. Also the fan should be a... you know.. fan? 
Also changed the oilpan and added cooling hoses.. Even a clutch at the back.. 










Now i need to start figuring out a good chassis..

Anyone got tips how i can make a car frame for this engine? 
I'm thinking about doing something like 42041B like in this thread:

is there a reason for a v-4??  

I guess an inline 4 is for the bigger vehicle and the v-4 in motorcycles. and small cars??   It looks great though!!  good job!!

This car has a V4 engine. (To be clearer, this is my car and i V6 swapped it but i still have the original V4 engine.)
