Small V 8
 

Hey guys here is something you may enjoy. A friend of mine built this Mini Ford V8 that looks like the real thing and runs! Capt,n http://www.smokstak.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6477 http://www.eastcoastmarineservice.com/ignsys.html

Where's the ford?

All I see is Mercury outboard stuff

Nothing about a Mini ford there!
John, Can you check it out?

Somebody else who is in to scale engines. www.replicaengines.com
If your a fan of things that convert gasoline in to noise, scale or otherwise, take a look at www.engine-museum.com

Hey Terry,
Are you in to miniature engine building? I know by now that Capt'n john is.
I thought I would have time to finish my self-designed radial when retired, but alas! It,s there in the rough, but a long ways from running or even popping.

I didn't see anything Ardun about them but they sure run good

The exhaust comes out the top of the Vee instead of going back down through the block like on a real 8BA type flathead.

RE: Small V 8
 

Your link database exceeds the number of my brain cells. :)

RE: Small V 8
 

Referring to a Ardun would mean Hemi conversion OHV heads on a flat head ford. The model engine in the video is a flat head valves in crankcase design. They simplified the task by running the exhaust out the valley (center top) area.

Here's another vid of the engine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmNiZ...eature=related

Those are freaking cool....where do these shows take place?

RE: Small V 8
 

A Minature small block Chevy with a GMC Blower. It sounds real good

Yeah, I've lusted after one of those Connelly V/8 "Chevy" engines for years. I saw one in person at one of the IMS shows. It is amazing how they really sound like a little small block Chevy!

Here's a Jerry Conley V8 that someone put together.

Jerry owns Perry pump/carbs and always has some of these at Toledo every year

His usually is more detailed than this example with a OS airbleed carb and cruel power fuel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Is9h...L&index=21

RE: Small V 8
 

It's responsive, but doesn't sound near as good as the blown one with headers....

This one is the Challanger engine, While it is not a scale model of a production engine, It is very much like the 1936 Caddy flathead V-8 which has the in the exhausts in the V.

RE: Small V 8
 

I remember those old Caddy's with the porcelain plated exhaust manifolds on top. They did very well in their day.

RE: Small V 8
 

Its Gary Conley, not Jerry.

just to keep things about airplanes, look at this utube post
youtube.com/watch?v=dSYp1jFz6__E

Iy won't post correctly because of the_ so you will have to type it in correctly

RE: Small V 8
 

Give us some hints

I can not get it to work on you tube

RE: Small V 8
 

make it a link with the ] brackets around it and people should be able to click on it, stick the brackets around url=website] title for link[/url and that's as complicated as making an embedded link is on here. Posting pictures is as complicated as putting img with the brackets around it then the address then /img with the brackets around it

I'd type it out the way it needs to look like, but I don't know how to turn off the code on here...

RE: Small V 8
 

The URL contained a malformed video ID I cannot find it on You Tube

RE: Small V 8
 

I found it

<h1>First Flight of a Bentley BR2 Rotary Engine</h1>
The problem was that there were two underlines in that first url

An excellent video. Been to that field many times and know pilot Mac Hodges very well. He is the guy with the ball cap, brown jacket, kaki pants and white shoes. He's the guy with the B-29

That engine certainly is nice running.

RE: Small V 8
 

That is the Ford engine George B. built! He has photos of the parts too! I am sorry I have not got back to this thread to get the right link. George also built a Holt 4 cyclinder enggine that is a master-piece to behold. Thanks gkamyse for finding the right link. Happy Holidays Capt,n
