So cool ... so cool. :cool

I've got an mpeg of it. Let me know if you want to see and hear it run.

Thats really cool!

 

[Ken]

Ain't it though!! That thing is so cool!! :cool

Yes this is indeed too cool. The sound is just great. I especially like the use of the drill for a starter. I don't know why he wants to modify it to run on corn squeezings. Leave the overlap in the cam fire it up on nitro and inhale. I would love to have one in my office. I could fire it up in the morning and every day it would smell like I was at a top fuel race. He must go into production and produce kits of this little gem.

Have you guys read through his web site? There's four or five pages detailing the engine and what it took to build it. :cool

Just simply amazing! I can't imagine how many hours he put into the design, machine work and testing. Sure sounds super, thanks for hosting the link. Love to see work like that.

It reminds me of the scale Ferrari car and engine a guy in Italy built a few years ago with a running V-12 engine and even the gauges worked. I found the link I had to that one but it no longer works.

Amazing dedication and talent.

Hey Ken..


how's it been going? are you thinking of making the engine and selling it? maybe?

 

[74bigblock]

Perfect for a little go cart! It's like a mini me.

 

[Vette Dawg]

That is VERY cool! I could rig it so it could turn my bike into a motorcycle! LOL Talk about the ultimate custom job!

 

[Corvette-Pilot]

Way :cool

GP TO THE DANBURY MINT SITE , THEY HAVE A MINI REPLICA OF A BIKE THAT LOOKS LIKE YOURS...RICK

That's quite an engineering feat, when you think about it. Sure, there are lots of engines to look at and reverse-engineer, but this guy did it all himself ... design, engineering, machining and building.

Bet he has a CNC, too .....
