dude this kit is on sale at HOBBY LOBBY stores..normally this kit is like 99 bucks and l got it for 53 bucks on hobby loby incld. taxes.

yeah there are many other engine model kits are available.. l just bought LT1 and l will build that one.. as you see on the photos, l already built a chevy small block, which is smaller but BADASS looking!

you can find engine model kits on ebay or amazon.. just make a search on e-bay. 'ENGINE MODEL KITS' or 'ENGINE SCALE'

this kit is 1/4 scale and has electric motor and sound chip in it and when you press the button it works like real engine!

the otherone is 1/6 scale and when you turn the flywheel it makes alternator, a/c and crank pulley turn.

the little one is badass looking chevy small block!

Good job on the build and the photos! I built a rotaty engine when I was a kid.... ages and ages ago... lol! I'd be into that sort of thing all over again, but doggone it, now I have a fiance (to be wifey #2) and her 11 yr old and my always challenging and often time consuming career to contend with. Now my hobby involves washing and/or detailin the 'stang as much as I can get away with it. Oh.. and I do game when I can on XBOX Live with my 360. [8D]

But again.. good job with the Hemi model!
