Miniature 302 V8

Post by catinahat »

Let me just start by saying that this is not my project, and I came across it at madmodders.
It is one of the most impressive scale model engines I have ever seen though, and thought I'd share...

And some pictures of the construction:

Kinda neat.

If they can build that engine then they can build an entire 67-72 F100. I would like to see a radio controlled one with a three speed and column shift or 4 speed for that matter.

This looks cool, i wonder if someone could get away with building completely new carbs for the old engines? perhaps with better flow rates and passages?
