Default Working 1/6th Scale Corvette V8 Engine put this in a tank

This is pretty cool. Someone made a working 1/6th scale engine modeled after the 1964 Corvette’s L76 V8.

This tiny engine has a 0.600-inch bore, 0.487-inch stroke, spark ignition, a pressurized oil system, cooling system, and spins at 11,000rpm radiator, water pump, carburetor, and valve covers are still in the works.

There are a lot of miniature working engines out there (of all shapes and sizes), brilliant little pieces of machinery!!

Would pe perfect for a 1/6 RC-car Impressive build, skilled engineers.
If there was a 1/6 V12 engine it would be nice to have that in a tank [8D]
