Norm has a great crab-style distributor,  bit I'm surprised he's the only one.

I'd love a detailed suicide front...

Carb linkages, shifter linkages, banjo steering wheels, all the fiddly bits that seniors like me have more and more difficulty with!

Ditto here, especially carb linkages.

I can make some of those but they would be fitted to my flathead 

Yours is 1/24 and not 1/25? It'd be cool to have some of this available.

You know the difference between 1:24 and 1:25 is very minimal right? Like 1-2mm for a fully assembled engine with the transmission.

Charles already prints this and I still need to order a couple. The Winter grill is perfect but I was wondering if you ever thought of printing an open shell for/with it so we can see the radiator and not just blank styrene?

This intake manifold and supercharger for a Mercedes-Benz M119 DOHC V-8. And a good M119, also. 
 

That engine is built by Stern Garage in Germany. They don’t sell the manifold by itself, just a complete engine for US $25k

Aren't we still on for this?

Yes, but the manifold is like a unicorn. Wait, I don’t want a unicorn ?  And wow am I excited about a model of the M119. 
 

I really wish I could get a look at that manifold. It makes me wonder about cutting up the upper half of the factory manifold to get a supercharger manifold. Making one like in the pic could eliminate the heat soak issue with a supercharger between cylinder banks.

I am going to be honest, I don't know enough about that engine much less any Mercedes engine other than the train wreck of the OM642 that I had.
