  1. So there's like nothing I can do about that I can't make an engine in 10 different "scales" but I have seen my engines used in plenty of 1:25 kits without issue
  2. Yes because a little bit bigger looks a lot better than a little bit smaller kit scales or not true scale The difference with this engine with the TH400 behind it completely assembled from the water pump pulley studs to the back of the TH400 is 3 mm longer. There's a lot of confusion in the difference between the two scales cuz people base it off of what they see in kits which is not accurate anyways I had someone discussing my offenhauser talking about how it was smaller than some kit's 1:24 version but bigger than another kit's 1:25 version. Now I wasn't exactly sure what to say to that because how can it be smaller than 1:25 but bigger than 1:24. So the reason I started 124 was cuz I did research and it just seemed logical from what people were saying that if you're going to pick one of the two to go with the slightly bigger because in true scale there is such a little difference why I stay that way compatibility with the thousands of parts I have.
  3. You didn't upset me, just a statement. I do get more pestering than I care to deal with and I assume you wouldn't and I don't dislike requests or suggestions but some people think I need reminding if what they want weekly.
  4. I do and to everyone else yes that engine is huge IRL. And heavy enough to decommission my old engine stand. I will be very honest when I got that thing home and heard the noises my engine lift was making picking it up and decided I needed to move my boom arm back I decided that that was not just a normal V6.
  5. I can promise you pestering me to make an engine will make it take five times this long in fact this engine wasn't made because a certain someone pestered me about it every time I released an engine So I kept putting it off to spite that person which I know is not a good thing to do but I did actually reach out and not many people seem interested in it. And this was already being worked on when you made your post that had nothing to do with that post it just happened to be that you made that post about a week after I bought the engine.
  6. 4bbl version of the Pontiac
  7. Pontiac V8 listed at Stock Pontiac V8
  8. Here's where I am at on mine
  9. I am not 100% sure but I think it was really big stuff like fire engines.
  10. Something different than normal is coming
  11. New 13B Wankel variant
  12. So something new completely not really relevant to building a model but it does support me. I have a new Merch section on my website.
  13. You're missing a whole bunch of aftermarket resources like myself Iceman collections VCG Jays pretty much all the 3D printing companies that are the big ones none of them are on there
  14. I will at some point do that and about 20 other engines inside want to do problems time it's very time intensive to make an engine not to print them but to one buy one or find one disassemble it prep it scan it reverse engineer it test it and then get it ready for production
  15. So this is the last 300 I will make for a while and its quite different
  16. And with this addition I am going into cruise mode until I go on vacation next week. I will leave my site up with a password disclaimer but I need a break. Colorado bound.
  17. Another option would be to put my 4R70W behind it, externally the AOD and the 4R70 are pretty much identical and the modular bell housing from what I understand is the same just different sized bolts which is not really an issue here
