Default Visible V-8 Engine! COMPLETED! *PICS*

here is another visible engine.. this does not have motor.. l can manually rotate it.. but it works better than the electric ones.. l can turn this as fast as l can like real engine.. l think looks pretty cool and this was a lot more realistic than hemi. l am about to build another visible engine HEMI 426 RACE ONLY.
anyway.. here are some photos..

Damn dude, you do this things alot huh? Looks really cool though... I used to do car models when I was younger but never done one of these before. How long do they usually take?

Great job. I checked the company's website, looks like they have a model of the 427, but I didn't see the 4.6 L modular V8. Do you know of any companies that offer a kit?

Looks nice, doodad! I had one of those when I was a kid. But in those days, it was electric powered and also had little "grain of wheat" lightbulbs that were in the sparkplugs and lit up when each cylinder was to fire. I also had a Visible Slant 6 kit. I tortured it to death. I spun it up on an electric drill till it froze up! Ahh... to be 12 again!

That's awesome! There's some dude out there that makes them small like that but actually run. They're sweet, i'll look to see if i can find a video of them.

this is the same but newer one.. l bid on one of those original visible v-8 engines on e-bay l was at 33 bucks it was like last 5 mins and someone bid over me.. l bid untill 50 bucks then gave up. that dude paid like 60 bucks plus 15 bucks shipping. it had red manual tranny case and electric motor. well l already built hemi 426 engine it has electric motor and l push the button and watch the action and l am about to build race only hemi which has electric motor too.. but l would love to turn the lights off and crank the engine and watch those spark plug fires..
