kennb Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks Danno I built up a blower and valve cover for the hemis I am going to be casting...The gears are from old printers,,,the belts(not shown) are from old scanners, and I also used parts from a ball point.

kennb Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 I started the engine yesterday. It is one of my own castings that is very plain. For this build it will be just fine. I assembled it, drilled out the distributor and plugs locations on the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine that is there is temporary......I will be working with a different casting for the final engine....from the same mold so it is the same type of engine.

kennb Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 The frame is scratch built....I made the frame rails up with 3 layers of.40 plastic. Take a look at the first pictures in the posting.....I made my own drawings for the frame and body and worked from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
