Is there a difference between a motor and an engine?

Not that I'm aware of. It's like calling a car an automobile. Same thing, different words.

 

[LAUST]

[JeffreyLebowski]

en·gine
n.

A machine that converts energy into mechanical force or motion.
Such a machine distinguished from an electric, spring-driven, or hydraulic motor by its use of a fuel.

A mechanical appliance, instrument, or tool: engines of war.
An agent, instrument, or means of accomplishment

mo·tor
n.

Something, such as a machine or an engine, that produces or imparts motion.

A device that converts any form of energy into mechanical energy, especially an internal-combustion engine or an arrangement of coils and magnets that converts electric current into mechanical power.

They're both technically applicable. However, it's kinda a pet peve.. I hate it when people call Internal Combustion Engines motors.

Nobody ever calls an electric motor an engine.

Damn... traffic was HORRIBLE. Took me an hour and a half to go 20 miles. I had to call the machine shop and tell them I wasn't gonig to make it by the time they closed. But, the guy running the place said he'd stay late so I could get it, that was cool (I got there about 20 minutes after they closed). Anyway, I'm tired now, and the shortblock's all wrapped up in plastic, and I don't feel like unwrapping it, so I jsut took one picture with the plastic on. I'll take a better picture when we get it on the engine stand.

306 cubic inches of detroit iron

My fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, and fuel pressure guage showed up today, too. I've pretty much got a 400hp motor laying around the house in parts, now.

Oops. Guess you'll have to take it .010 over. Back to the machine shop she goes!

It's his toy, he plays with it. Pushing it's limits is part of the game. The day he's done playing with this car and changing parts is the day it's wrecked or he sells it for something else to toy with.

Me too! an engine burns fuel and has pistons, etc... a motor plugs in the wall or uses batteries and spins with magnets. (not officially, but thats how I feel about it)
