Those pipes sprouting out of each cylinder are called the exhaust manifolds. The base that all the parts are attached to is called the block, or crate. And finally, that squiggly little thing at the very top is called the distributer, and the lines connecting it to each cylinder are called the spark plug wires. Hope this comes in handy! And I must say, very impressive illustration considering it's by someone who doesn't know much about mechanics, and is drawing purely from memory

great job! here's a little terminology if you're interested. The foremost circle you drew is called the crankshaft pulley. Those 6 towers at the top of it all are the engines cylinders. Their shape is usually not as obvious as you've drawn, since they're contained in a housing for each bank, it's a rectangular block with the cylindrical shapes vaguely bulging out.
