skip the shitty music at the begining, and you can hear it idle.... it's got a friggin cam!

 

Damn, I can't even get a regular sized engine to run that good!!! AAAAAAAAARGH!!!

 

It's been years ago now but I remember the first time I saw one of those little things fire up and sit there running. It's amazing the machining needed to make it happen.

Thats awesome! I love the way it sounds!

 

That dude has major free time and money not to mention he is one hell of a machinist.

 

Conley does have cars to fit the engines, a T-bucket and a Cobra in 1/8 scale. Very expensive

 

amazing stuff,,

 

Where is that Brit who did the V12 Ferrari with all the shit to perfect scale and operational. It sounded just like the real thing and if you had an 8 inch tall dude he could have drive it just like a real one.

Nothing says wine country more than a mini v8......very cool....the Ferrari is insane....

 

go on you tube and look up miniature V8 and you can see some neat stuff. they have them things running in 1/4 scale models, with blowers and nitrous. the flatheads are cool as shit. $3500 for one of those and its got a choice of 1,2,3 carbs or mechanical injection like the hilborn.
