Visible V-8 Engine! COMPLETED! *PICS*

**Musclefan21** · 09-08-2006, 01:01 PM

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..

excatly the same real engine just pats are plastic and needs glue to stay together! l rotate the crank and l see those valves are moving, pushrods, camshaft.. everything like real engine.. it had over 340 parts!

Nothing wrong with a good hobby. I got into model cars a few years ago and put 5-6 cars together. They were mostly nascar stuff. Reading this makes me want to dig up my stuff again and go find a motor to put together.
