    I wish someone would start selling those as kits, it would be so cool to assemble and run something like that. Especially for people who want to be involved in cars, but don't have the space/cash/understanding woman to get the real thing. I'd be ready to put cash down!

    And you'd get bashed here for running a sbc in it.

    Check out baem.com.
    These guys build all kinds of mini-engines. Wander around their site and you can link to all kinds of mini-engine, machinist stuff.
    The steam engine places have you finish kits of many types. I heard a baem club guy say the block castings for the engine he built was available for sale. That was a while ago though.

    A guy built @ 1/4 scale '32 roadster, complete with fully functional, blown, 1/4 scale SBC and trans......back in '86.....
    I used to race high end R/C cars and had the first issue of R/C Car Action (summer 1986) and it was in there....later issues had an advertisement to buy it in kit form, with some final machining required.

    If an understanding woman is the roadblock, that guy has WAY bigger problems than his lack of a project car :eek:

    I wasn't suggesting it to be my problem, just that there might be people like that.

    It must take incredible skill and patience to build one of these scale engines and make them run. This little SBC has got to be by far the most detailed and scale accurate of any that I've seen. Amazing.

    There unfortunately are people like that. Now that I think about it, the engine would help him. I'd bet at full song it's hard to hear bitching :D

    I'd like to see a 1/3 or 1/2 scale motor in a go kart or junior dragster.

    I think this is probably GM's covert attempt to save their butts with a new concept for an economy motor for the world's smallest Camaro do out in 2012.

    What a talented person to machine and assemble this mini motor let alone start and run it. He has my applause. Just 2 pages ago someone on here was asking advice on how to make an already running engine run better. Now here is this guy carves an engine out of a piece of steel and it runs like a clock.Quite a site!!!!!!!
