A Rare Bird: (One of only 57 built in 1992.)

Here's the engine room. No matter/anti-matter intermix chambers here,
just 240 HP of old dinosaurs puffing out of quad Stainless Steel exhaust tips.

In the center of this photo, you can see the aerospace grade braided heat insulation wrapped around the upper coolant transfer pipe.
This is to try to keep the air box slightly cooler, but really to allow the fan thermostatic temperature sensor to operate
without being affected by ambient air flow or temperature. The sensor is inside the wrap, in direct contact with the pipe.
