Hi ,
A little big for a 1/24th scale model but i think it could be great for a go-kart. :twisted: Could you imagine the power to weight on that setup?

:lol: @ Mark ^

Amazing detail on it, looks like it went thru the industrial laundromat and shrunk. Quarter scale rock crawler?

As Chris Mathews once said....."I got a tingle up my leg!!" The detail on the engine is fantastic,but I could not figure out what kind of carb/carbs that they are using.Anyone know? And what kind of shop are they working in? Then I checked out some of the other vids and that Sonnys 1000ci engine made me think that the T/F Hemi engines are going to have some serious problems in Pro Mod and "Moutin"motor classes. Do YA think?

That is flippin cool. See the detail on the block, head, intake, water pump castings, etc?
It's as if they molded it with the same detail, just smaller.
I'd guess it's a 1/4 scale (perhaps 1/5).
Sounds rockin' too. Has a good cam in it for sure.
Assuming it's a 1/4 scale, if modeled after a 350, it would be a 5 cid engine.
Love to see it on a little dyno. Curious if it would have a better power to cid ratio than a similarly built full scale engine (I'm guessing it would).

OK, Justin, frame up a 1/4 scale Vega Chassis, Byron make the body, let's see what she'll do down the 1/16" mile track. :mrgreen:

Cool little engine. Of all the small v 8's I've seen on the web, this one has the best sound. I mean, it sounds big. The others all sound cool, but, small and tinn y. you know.
thanks for video. :th:

Found another one. Appears to be a little smaller and less detailed, but he explains a lot about what went into building his by hand.

Pretty interesting.

Did you intend to paste a weblink in Zeke?
Nothing came through.
