Large scale LS1?

[drummerdad]

I seem to remember a thread with a 1/12 scale 69 Camaro, that had an LS1 in it. I have scoured the internet, with few results( I did find a triple pack of corvette engines in 1/12 scale, but I dont think that will work). I would love to build a Foose 69, but I think it would need a modern engine and wheels. Im sure this has been beat to death, but does anyone cast engines for 1/12 scale models? There arent many options from TDR innovations.

It's here. Look for a thread on page 2 by Ralph Torres.

I have looked around and tried to contact Ralph, with no reply. I did happen across this today... http://shapeways.com/shops/3d-model-specialties  I havent orders one yet, but they seem to have an LS3 and a FAST intake, among other parts. Has anyone bought, or used one of these engines? 

They have a lot of 1/12 scale stuff on page 2.

I never got a message from you.. maybe something went wrong but yes i scratched built an LS motor and a Mountain Motor for the 1/12 Camaro... i havent really been on here much because i started on a 1:1 project and has been taking up all of my time.. The 3D Ls3 from shapeways is,a beautyfull piece...i bought a complete engine. You wont be dissapointed... my friend Ron Olsen is the owner and he will have many more parts available soon...

Thank you Ralph. I have been watching some of your builds, as well as some of the other guys building the 1/12 and 1/8  camaros. I emailed TDR and the said they werent making them, and were way too busy to take on any projects. I searched for days, and finally found that link. But, as my luck goes, I forgot my login and password for shapeways, and Im waiting for them to email back, and unlock my account. I suck with computers anymore. But I do want to get one of those LS3s. That will fix my engine needs.....

Now I just need some 1/12 and 1/8 wheels and tires....

What are you looking for? I had these printed in 1/24th scale. I can do 1/12th and 1/8th.

You sir, just made my day. Actually, you just made my year. I was planning on building a block and heads from scratch. Thank you!!!!!!!!

I just order the LS3 block and heads, the RS/SS grill for the Camaro and tie rod end kit. Thanks again for posting this!

Good. Im glad someone can use this, thats why I came back and put it here. I spent some time last week just looking through shapeways online pages, to see if there were any more parts. I started following a few designers that make some nice stuff. You will have to let me/us know how good it looks when you get it.
