English term or phrase: engine cage

Bonjour,

savez-vous si "engine cage" se traduit par "cage de moteur", tout simplement ?

"Because it's a roadster, this car is going to need some extra support so in come a custom designed carbon fibre engine cage."

cage moteur

Explanation:
"État de de la cage moteur avant la restauration

Loin d'être dans un état trop pitoyable ici , la cage moteur est tout de même un endroit critique pour ce type de véhicule. Critique en ce sens que c'est souvent là que nous verrons apparaître les premiers signes de rouille dans les extrêmes gauche et droit (au niveau des batteries). Or, étant donné que le moteur "Air Cool" est entouré d'un "seal" (qui rappelons-le a d'abord une fonction de conserver le haut du moteur froid), il est possible de restaurer la cage moteur pour qu'elle conserve un état presque aussi propre qu'un comptoir de cuisine ! L'esthétisme n'est pas la première fonction, mais stopper la rouille dans un endroit qui contient tout ce qui tient et fait avancer le véhicule n'est souvent pas un luxe."

nacelle moteur ou caisson moteur

Explanation:
En aéronautique on parle de nacelle moteur. Il existe une certaine similitude. Sinon, caisson constitue une autre alternative à cage.

Cage doesn't seem quite right for a moulded item like this.
