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

[@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!

[@tipturkey1283]

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

[@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 !

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@dereckcameron960]

This is a burst of sound heaven!

[@jordanhfurness]

the sound on this thing is amazing.

[@kevinbrooks6265]

man does that sound sweet!!

[@newstart49]

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

[@tomsriv]

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

[@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

[@JamesCutlervk2tim]

The worlds most expensive and awesome cordless drill :P

[@daveg1208]

Wow, that is a wonderful little machine.

[@Starborn3000]

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

[@donskiver]

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

[@hondaxl250k0]

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

[@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 ;)

[@evilcowboy]

$16,500.00

[@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

[@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.

[@thatoneguy2549]

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

[@JohnSmith-yn8pl]

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

[@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

[@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

[@yggameplays7448]

Now put it on a bicycle...

[@kingofsludge7262]

This still sounds better than a lot of cars I hear

[@briancritchley498]

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

[@steamingbob]

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

[@wajahatkamal]

Sound's great

[@TheZamboon]

Still more power than a riced up civic

[@Trint3e]

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

[@slammedandshiny]

are there videos of these little motors actually powering something?

[@ShadowBoss0001]

Nice work and the sound is great

[@kaliberto1]

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

[@kevinbrooks6265]

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

[@400ss]

Perfect for 1/4 scale model A hot rod

[@_iAmEvo_]

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

[@JamesCutlervk2tim]

This is a demonstration of brilliance!

[@JimJones-zc9mk]

How much HP does it make ? ? ?

[@crystalgayleaddict]

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

[@Quenn21]

Still has more horsepower than a Honda

[@jennysnell1]

Quen my man

[@andrewroudny]

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

[@imachillaxer]

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

[@HammyTechnoid]

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

[@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...

[@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

[@DJALIENPHANTOM]

is there a miniture rotary engine???

[@115breno]

did this actually have spark plugs etc?

[@BaileyEvans]

whats the displacement on this engine?

[@inkydoug]

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

[@wan46rossi]

great idea..wanna see that too..

[@blakereeves9880]

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

[@navaj31]

Do you still have any left?

[@infoShark13]

well it runs now what do you do with it

[@romandybala]

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

[@LeftyLucyRightyTyty]

Momany...if you'd slow down and OBSERVE, youd notice exhaust mannys are in the middle of the "V"...exiting the rear...

[@wskay1]

torque? HP?

[@benspeese8897]

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

[@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.

[@mattboeseman1850]

How hot does it get ?

[@emdsd70machphase2]

Water cooled or coolant?

[@rehiggs1]

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

[@drtracernum20]

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

[@tipturkey1283]

this would make a pretty beastly bicycle engine

[@mealex303]

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

[@xyman71]

what about 2 stroke engines?

[@StratocastRS]

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

[@NiklasRo-go8ep]

is it possible to get building instructions

[@Eyzi96]

where can i get engines like this ?

[@MrDeantheBean14]

Where did u get that???

[@MegaMusted]

is that an os carb off a nitro engine?

[@krisj9139]

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

[@boa721]

still have any left

[@lebommjohnson8101]

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

[@raisgrr8420]

Music for the ears !

[@_jstatic]

Does it use a cam?

[@jaydizz39]

I wanna know how much HP does it make

[@Amilzera]

how much $?

[@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

[@juanitafaye795]

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

[@hananas2]

great sound!

[@granarioquicenogomez7207]

En donde se pueden conseguir estos equipos o motores

[@buddylight2191]

Do you sell transmissions for these engines?

[@buddylight2191]

not necessarily

[@noelmintern6133]

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

[@christicristian06]

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

[@Coffieman5150]

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

[@davidbrandemuehl9453]

are there any prints I can get?

[@makwa]

Can I buy one and if so where from?

[@westxtsew]

Thanks for sharing.

[@julianBraga]

Oh this is just purrrrrrfect

[@kpaintball3]

Could you put or inane model just for looks???

[@drift0141]

where is the exast pips?

[@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

[@AllodialTitle]

It would look great in my lawn tractor :)

[@Conway97]

I wonder how you shut it down without ruining it out of fuel

[@Sandmann527]

probably pinch the fuel line.

[@smacktard7440]

it has plugs kill the coil

[@Ministeam]

@boa721 Yes we have 2 left. $6,500 at ministeam

[@jokerdazpwn]

plane engine or vehicle?
