1/6th scale Chevrolet 327 cu in V8

Great bit of work here! :blink:

My current project is a 1/6th scale Chevrolet 327 cu in V8. Based on a 1964 365 hp Corvette motor, measurements have been taken from an actual engine as to be most accurate. The head and block began as billet aluminum that have been painstakingly machined on a Bridgeport-style mill. The 5-main crank has real babbit bearings, while the cam is a scale 30-30 Duntov.

Dies were developed for stamping out the front cover, oil pan and rockers. The pistons and water pump housing are cast aluminum, and the valve covers are going to be investment cast.

Since this engine is a runner, there is spark ignition, a pressurized oil system and a cooling system just like its big brother

This effort exemplifies the unending dedication and unlimited imagination of a mechanically oriented "tinkerer".

The gentleman sure knows his craft. He is a master craftsman.

I hope he finds some carburetor and cooling system master craftsmen also.

More power too him.

His key chains are and make real "enthusiast" type gifts. I would treasure one.

He could make engines for scaled down cars!

There was a TV episode years ago about a remote controlled car club that used real scaled down engines and other real scaled down parts for their remote controlled cars, which was very interesting and they even had a scaled down replica of a Formula 1 race car.

Absolutely correct. See his other Projects click on Challenger V8 and Links. Here http://www.moyermade.com/projects.html

The Links will take you to all the RC cars and stuff. Amazing stuff !!!

On to the Ferrari project. http://web.mac.com/lilenginebob/iWeb/Site/...,%20others.html

And on and on.... I am amazed how popular this is, but not surprised !!!

I wish they'd do some dyno testing on them, I'd love to know how much HP those small engines make.
