ferrarijoe Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 This is crazy running around 7000 rpm. Judging by title took a while to figure it out. http://m.youtube.com/watch?hd=1&v=kx_j1ixjxac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 This is not the first time I've seen somebody do this with a Visiable V-8. I do have to question his way of measuring rpms. Watching that meter fluctuate up and down, giving different readings the way it did, did not come off very scientific to me. I also question, what is it acutally measuring? Interesting. But, not very convincing. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I built a Powered one. I could barely keep it running at the battery pack level without having the plastic pushrods bend and drop down into the oil pan!! I wonder what he used in place of those kit parts!?? And what other parts did he replace?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 The valve float is unreal! Is it a electric mother running it? It almost sounds like a real engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what other parts did he replace?? X2. Having built one, these are exactly my questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 He must be running a visible 4 bolt main block and the visible forged plastic crank. -MJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 you gotta see this jb I'm surprised to see how tough these little buggers are. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 no kidding. especially considering it was meant to be run with a puny little electric motor and here the guy is running it into the ground with a big torquey power drill. and the V8 at least really kept up pretty well. better than a lot of the motors in the other video! jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
