You may want to take a look at Clear Climate Code. It is a rewrite of an old, hairy FORTRAN climate analysis program with the goal of making it clearer and easier to understand. That's somewhat different from having an example of what you would write de novo, but it might help give you strategies for the process of translating your own FORTRAN and C engineering codes.
