Flat Head V8 Running Miniature Model Engine - Block is Only 7" Long!

[@tipturkey1283]

Even though it's displacement is next to nothing, you can't beat the sound of a v8

[@TheSpazModic]

If I had one I'd keep it in my cubicle and run it at full-throttle during lunch break

[@baberhamlinkon9738]

Screw the lunch break Id run it any time I could!

[@richcampoverde]

Considering this engine was hand crafted and not mass produced its minor flaws should be overlooked it's a work of art and a testament to the master crafter that built it

[@RickTaylorpopnstart]

Economics 101 says the price of something is "only what the market will bear." $6500 to one person may mean something totally different to another. Everything is relative. Sure, you can probably buy several real full size engines for that price but since there are only 10 of these in existence the value is only gonna go up,up,up. Great running engine. Thanks for posting.

[@davidlisney2059]

A lovely piece of engineering, runs really well too.

[@JezebelPrincessNZ]

im an mechanical fitter with a love of the v8 engine, al i have to say is well done gentlemen!

[@TheCUTTERbyPHOENIX]

3:50 that idle sound, sounds so close to a real scaled V8 flat-head ! Congrats man !

[@asshatnowhere159]

no, probably just how the carb set up is tuned. it might need some adjusting. basically what can happen is that the engine doesn't get the extra fuel fast enough (hence the delay) and the extra fuel can linger around keeping it revved for a bit. this can be a problem for older cars that use carbs but nowadays they all use fuelinjectors controlled by a computer

[@Quenn21]

Still has more horsepower than a Honda

[@jennysnell1]

Quen my man

[@yggameplays7448]

Now put it on a bicycle...

[@excitationz]

I do see the worth in these engines, the amount of skill, knowledge, and passion it takes to design and build one of them is amazing - in terms of comparing them to artwork is a good point but the return on investment isn't really there... at the $6000 range, a piece of artwork is basically an emotional purchase, at the Million + range, it's a solid investment. I don't see these engines value going up over time... decades, centuries... Art? (painting an example) yes, and it always will.

[@crobulari2328]

Reminds me of an old V8 Pilot of my mums back in about 1950 The Pilots engine was very quiet though. One could fit Offy heads to it as I remember but the Mercury engine was better. OHV. This is an excellent engineering exercise. Well Done.

[@mikeakaspike]

I find more and more people announcing in the comments when they find a ASMR video, that is not meant to be an ASMR video. It helps other people find them.

[@Starborn3000]

You need to put that in a badass toy monster truck! Hours and hours of fun lol

[@thatoneguy2549]

That would make the perfect power wheel engine for my kids!!

[@JamieKugelmann]

Yes you can, simply make a block for it to sit on to weigh it down, screw it on and attach it to your bench! Start up whenever you want ;)

[@kaliberto1]

MAKE MORE!! Or even better make one so that we can build one!!! ;) Definetely, many people is going to buy it! :D

[@kingofsludge7262]

This still sounds better than a lot of cars I hear

[@JamesCutlervk2tim]

This is a demonstration of brilliance!

[@tomsriv]

That sounds awesome! Best sounding miniture I have heard yet. I wonder if you could put mini glass packs on it.

[@evilcowboy]

$16,500.00

[@TheZamboon]

Still more power than a riced up civic

[@Trint3e]

TheZamboon Clearly you've never experienced the sheer power of VTEC. Harrumph!

[@JamesCutlervk2tim]

The worlds most expensive and awesome cordless drill :P

[@mik33y123]

this engine is beautiful it's a piece of art I wish I could afford to ever own one you are ever talented thanks for the video

[@romandybala]

Funny, what was that three times push on the carb linkage.? It doesnt look like a pumper carb.

[@dereckcameron960]

This is a burst of sound heaven!

[@JohnSmith-yn8pl]

Read a lot of the replies ....to sum it up it really sounds great !

[@kevinbrooks6265]

man does that sound sweet!!

[@newstart49]

Are those tubes on top next to the intake the exhaust tubes? This is incredible work!

[@jordanhfurness]

the sound on this thing is amazing.

[@rotaryrocket74]

you can use it for either, I've seen som guys take for of them and put them in RC drag cars, pretty crazy

[@inkydoug]

Not a single puff of smoke from the exhaust,excellent.

[@amyasseektruth8246]

This is simply amazing, oozing with talent and potential - I just wish that someone with this skill will re-invent the carburetor - oh and that sound!!!! Eargasm

[@lebommjohnson8101]

Is the throttle response really that slow, or is the audio out of sync w/the video ?

[@slammedandshiny]

are there videos of these little motors actually powering something?

[@tipturkey1283]

this would make a pretty beastly bicycle engine

[@Sandmann527]

Y'all know this thing costs $16,500 I could buy a real V8 for less

[@irun4fundotca]

+Sandmann527 its only $8,257.75 lol

[@spaceminions]

"Only".

[@alexpencek2172]

You can still buy a real v8 for less than 8k

[@whityford5311]

i could buy a V8 for $500

[@ferguson20diesel49]

You would get one for nothing somwhere

[@christicristian06]

How the hell do you make the block and crankshaft, i can't find a way to do it...

[@daveg1208]

Wow, that is a wonderful little machine.

[@ShadowBoss0001]

Nice work and the sound is great

[@Gwhitebeard]

God Bless V8's! We CAN drive them until the end of the world!!! The heck with 4's and electric hybrid crap boxes! Just make these for automotive apps! That sound! Maaaannn...

[@thatoneguy2549]

Someone with a cnc shop should blue print a few 50-1000cc scale model v8 and put them into actual production. They would make very fun little golf cart engines, junior drag engine ect. Might be a neat little nitch market.

[@phil955i]

Why do these engines always sound as if the carburation isn't set up properly when revved?

[@noelmintern6133]

What's the cubic capacity,..and is it a cross plane crank like it sounds?...

[@_iAmEvo_]

yes look up the Conley Stinger 609 the super charged version has around 9 horsepower witch is allot for a little motor.

[@mealex303]

Are the spark plugs made for you?? Or ate they for another thing and buyable??

[@JimJones-zc9mk]

How much HP does it make ? ? ?

[@infoShark13]

well it runs now what do you do with it

[@donskiver]

Wow, that sounds beautiful. I always did like the old flat head fords. :}

[@kevinbrooks6265]

it can't breathe to good with that closed header,one hole design can it?

[@holmes230536]

If I'm not mistaken that engine looks very much like a Jerry Howell Design, and for anyone interested in building it, the plans might still be available from his site, although Jerry recently passed away (my condolences to his family) I believe his family are continuing to run the site,

[@briancritchley498]

Would have to be one of the most amazing beautiful works of art I have ever seen..

[@krisj9139]

What’s the power output? Can you build a charger or a turbo for it as well?

[@blakereeves9880]

are there any of these mini motors in like a go kart or something?

[@adamscoggins5840]

I have one of your original flathead v8 the engine is at least 20+ years old is there any way to determine when mine was built An old man passenger two of them down to me the other is a flathead 4cyl

[@steamingbob]

Great sounding engine and some good work and time and time gone into it.

[@hondaxl250k0]

ok now thats cool as hell!! but i question the exhaust next to ur fuel tank..

[@115breno]

did this actually have spark plugs etc?

[@mukhayyar]

that was a nice engine to built up a 1:10 cadillac eldo 1959 model!

[@robertschreiber8099]

+Deborah Goldberg I'm wanting a kit! Not only the plans, but, a block and heads. Ministeam.com doesn't have what I want. Where did you get yours?

[@mukhayyar]

+Robert Schreiber sorry, sometimes, at night after a little glass of wine, i make translation-mistakes. in german you often use conjugation like simple past to form conditional... There is a memory hook: (direct translated) 'if-sentences are without would'. and the german word for 'would' is the same as dignity. i wanted to say, that it would be a nice engine. but i understood, that they sell kits, too. at ebay i found a few. best regards

[@drtracernum20]

actually depending on how the crank is configured, cam configuration and the firing order, not all v8's sound the same.

[@StratocastRS]

does this have the same firing order as a real flathead?

[@rehiggs1]

It doesn't seem to have a throttle pump to inject extra fuel when throttle is opened.

[@xyman71]

carburettors dont need a pump as the draw air n fuel mix into themselves using a venturi, plus the fuel on the model is gravity feed thats why the tank is up high

[@kalebskeens976]

Can you tell me where you got it or how to get one I've been trying but I don't want a small toy I want that can you help me out websites or anything. Thanks

[@crystalgayleaddict]

A part of the video showing how that model was built would be appreciate!

[@DJALIENPHANTOM]

is there a miniture rotary engine???

[@imachillaxer]

Are you willing to sell the blueprints? And if so how much would you charge for them?

[@BaileyEvans]

whats the displacement on this engine?

[@400ss]

Perfect for 1/4 scale model A hot rod

[@jaydizz39]

I wanna know how much HP does it make

[@NiklasRo-go8ep]

is it possible to get building instructions

[@Coffieman5150]

I would really like to have one, what is the horsepower/ or Watts of it?

[@juanitafaye795]

Where do I go to get and assemble a engine like this I want one bad

[@navaj31]

Do you still have any left?

[@HammyTechnoid]

Freakin' Awesome.... just hearing it cam-idle is music... Curious to know the horsepower... didn't see it mentioned in video notes.

[@granarioquicenogomez7207]

En donde se pueden conseguir estos equipos o motores

[@napkinmen4396]

i could buy a perfectly restorable classic car WITH A V8 with the money it takes to buy this thing.

[@EveKitty08]

Why is the throttle response so sluggish? I've seen economy electronically controlled throttles that are quicker than that

[@jimmymagnum07]

I think the sound is out.

[@EveKitty08]

Ah, that would explain it. Nice work!

[@NCF8710]

The carburetor appears to be a simple throttle design. There is no accelerator pump. When the throttle is opened, a momentary loss of manifold vacuum results in a lean mixture and a sag in response. Once more fuel enters the manifold, the engine picks up speed. This is really a nice piece of work!

[@matrox]

Holy @#$% that sounds good. If Ford put this in the Ford Focus I might buy one, other wise I'm sticking with my SS Camaro.

[@andrewroudny]

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen! What is the approximate horsepower of this engine?

[@MrDeantheBean14]

Where did u get that???

[@emdsd70machphase2]

Water cooled or coolant?

[@xyman71]

what about 2 stroke engines?

[@Eyzi96]

where can i get engines like this ?

[@drift0141]

where is the exast pips?

[@danielmiller6775]

Can someone tell me were I can buy one of those at

[@mattboeseman1850]

How hot does it get ?

[@davidbrandemuehl9453]

are there any prints I can get?

[@MegaMusted]

is that an os carb off a nitro engine?

[@_jstatic]

Does it use a cam?

[@benspeese8897]

Every gasoline motor except a rotary uses a cam lol. how else would you open and close valves?

[@Mr424538]

throttle lag?

[@copseverywhere5160]

where buy this?

[@makwa]

Can I buy one and if so where from?

[@lilguy52]

Video is off. Very nice touch with the piece of paper

[@wskay1]

torque? HP?

[@realflow100]

the wobbly fan is driving me bonkers plz straighten out those fan blades my OCD is killing me

[@xFReSHeReST]

whats the scale size?

[@mechanicalking]

2 hp?

[@jokerdazpwn]

plane engine or vehicle?
