On the industrial looking modern engines, there's not much more you can do to ugly them up, so they fit better.

At freeway speeds, you'd be surprised how little hot air remains under the hood. These things are ventilated fairly well at 50-60 mph.
Mine definitely doesn't fit the 'classic' theme.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
