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.

GMC Twin-six 702: OHV V12, 702 cu.in/ 275 hp. This was scratchbuilt to go into a GMC B7000. I attach an ad to show the real thing.

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

Allis Chalmers 25000 "Big Al". Diesel OHV 6, 844 cu.in./ 450 hp. I attach a photo of a real one here too. This was scratchbuilt using a DAF engine as a base and installed into a Dodge Bighorn at the suggestion of member Brian Smith (Driptroit 71).

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.

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.
