I love those minis. I recall seeing a mini ford 427 side oiler, and a rotary airplane engine circa WW1. Joe

Now he just needs the mini supercharger, and some mini headers.

These guys have a few in 1/6 scale,the Ferrari 312PB even sounds like it's running with a shifter that you can run it through the gears.

That is too, TOO cool. I wonder what kind of HP that engine makes? What kind of engine oil is used? How big are the spark plugs? Leaded or unleaded gas?

I wonder how fast you could go if you had a pair of them mounted to roller skates?

reminds me of a British novel based on a model maker who goes to the other side of the world with some of his engines .But I can never remember the title or author .
Fantastic work !

That's REALLY cool stuff, beau. But.... They don't actually run. Working pushrods, cams, and oil pumps on this baby.

Still, that looks like a high-end gift idea, Cool!

Thats nice.. It's amazing what some people can do.
My great uncle made a scale 1912 Model T Ford out of Brass.
It is incredible.. He sold it to a museum a couple years ago. I gotta see if I can find some pictures to put on here....

Sweet.

IIRC One of my uncles built a scale copy of a V8 he had in his 32 Ford Rod... was either 1/4 or 1/6 scale... something like that.. that was back in the 80s when he was working as a machinist for John Deere.
