1935 Auburn: Flathead L8, 280 cu.in/150HP. This is my take on the clunky Pyro/Lindberg kit.

AMC 304 : OHV V8, 304 cu.in./125 HP. This was in the Jeep CJ7 I had built years ago. When I rebuilt it, I installed a six like in the one I had owned.

The humble but ubiquitous Citroën 2CV. Here is an example of how important it is to erase molding seams. They stick out like sore thumbs.

Porsche 928. SOHC V8  (website said SOHC although it looks more DOHC to me), 4.5 to 5.4L./ 270-350hp. This engine evolved quite a bit over the years. Bought on eBay incomplete, so hard to tell which kit (year) it is from.
