Mini Vette engine, fascinating
I dont know if this has been posted before, but I stumbled into it and really got kick out of it. This mini replica of a 1964 365 hp Corvette motor actually starts and run. Some people have way too much time on their hands.

wow, thats amazing.
I wonder how much HP it makes?
It would be neat if he could make a kit to build your own..but since it took him 7 years to build, I don't think it would be a good idea

The time and engineering that goes into some peoples hobby projects is mind boggling!
I saw an oil burning model steam locomotive once that was about twice the size of a Lionel model that actually worked, Brakes and all! Every piece was hand made. Took the guy over Ten years! That's dedication way beyond normal!
