Ford V8 with Frenzel supercharger. The motor is from the junk pile, the heads are by Flat32 and the supercharger is by Pico Elgin. I understand those are rather scarce. It is certainly unique.

There is a company called Thunder V12 which purchases 702s and restores them to whatever you want, hot rod, marine, etc.

Wow! These are great. I love building engines too, but you take them to a new level. I love your scratchbuilt ones. How you find the oddball ones to build is neet. I used to prowl ebay, buying engine junkyards just to find a few good ones to work on. Must have had close to 1000 "core" blocks at one time. Usually only 1 out of 10 were worth salvaging.

I like your workshop background and props too. Where did you find the forklift? Diecast? Love the machines and mills also. Very good work, keep it up.

Thank you Jeff and Bruce. Most of them come from eBay from kit breakers. I missed some great ones the other day which shot up over my limit just before the end.

Diecast, found on eBay or Amazon. I think it is made by Norscot or something like that.

Chevrolet 427 with  OBX  Individual Throttle body induction. Not sure how legit this is. That equipment seems to be used on more modern engines. Thought it would be fun to do this. Glue bomb engine with 3D printed parts.
