You guys that want a V8 in Jeeps, here is your chance to have one in a scaled model :bacondance::bacondance::bacondance:

As a modeler i'll say that is awesome! Looks like it would go perfectly in a 1/5 scale.

It is dual overhead cam. Maybe a hemi?

[XJ Wheeler]

I noticed that. Nice design by the looks of it. I do wonder how some of those parts were made though. Like the distributors.

Saw this in related stories. Even has fuel injection, an alternator, and mufflers!

Yeah, pretty amazing! I love the intake, and all the other touches. Those carbs are pretty neat too.

I think these things are awesome... I know there was a guy I found on Youtube, that had build a mini V10 or V12 with ITB's and he made every part on his mini milling machine & lathe... it was an awesome little sucker...

I think the little engines are soo cool!!! I want one but not sure what I would do with it lol

[Brasscatz]

Very nice! Be fun just to have as a paper weight on your desk at work. When you get bored, rev that bad boy up!

Wow, now that was pretty sweet. Took 10 years to build that thing! That detail is just amazing!

[4.3LXJ]

I like to build stuff like that, but that is way out of my league

[XJ Wheeler]

My jaw just dropped! That's amazing. That guy took some serious time on that car. Way outta my league too.

Now if someone would just do that for an XJ ……………………..

[XJ Wheeler]

I know! At least a miniature functional 4.0 would be awesome.

Well, there is some pretty cool "scale" stuff being made for RCs that could be used. Although in a smaller scale than those above.

Like these axles, and springs.
