Status: offline 		for those interested,I did find these engines listed as: LIBERTY Classics 1/6 Scale 426 C.I Hemi Top Fuel Dragster Replica Engine , at amazon .com ...................price 31-35.00....

while this static hemi weighs just around a pound,it will initially be configured into the overall COG.....(yes,NO radio box),and it does sit as low as it can go in the bottom of the hull,So hopefully, no top-heavy tendencies will be noted, keep in mind Y'all,this is a sport boat for now till further testing can be done,but I sure do like the WOW factor.....

Status: offline 		It started out as a whim (brain fart) for Paul M's drag boat build up, but I guess I was overcome by how good it looked when put into any hull..... I do believe PARMA makes a blown hemi in a smaller (and lighter) scale unit with just as much detail.......here's a PARMA hemi in my buddies 1/10 home brew scale gasser...

Status: offline 		as mentioned in Dana's thread, I plan on doing a full cockpit on this build,w/rear bench seat,and no radio box,still sourcing for parts availability, might have to go to the aircraft side of the house for gauges,and stuff,any one got resources for scale stuff ....cleats,etc...etc....etc...
