With the final major body mod done,

it's time to make another of my custom engines..! I must admit, it's been kind of fun doing these wild childs. I did a custom nitro burning V-16 hemi awhile back & told myself that would be IT..! Wrong, this time I don't want the hemi, so I took a block out of my parts box. At first I thought it was a Revell top fuel dragster block but it had a Lenco type trans on it;

In any case, the Lenco got the ax & an AMT street trans found a new home. Next was those all important HUGE Brodex wedge heads from a Revell pro street kit. They have been cut down just a tad to fit the block but can still fill up ANY engine bay. No whimpy mills here, this custom job needs to have a wild induction system & I have one planned;

Not the best angle to photo it from but it's a start & I'm pleased with the end result;

I have a new (better) camera planned in the near future & will take close up photos soon as I complete my twin screw blower drive. The new mill fits like a glove & I've extended the front fenders down to drill out exhuast ports just in front of the rear fenders;

That's all for now,

Zooooooooot

I see you pulled the skirt down a bit on the side. I like it better that way. The flow of the profile is nicer. The exhaust will be a nice touch. The mill looks good too.

Keeeeeeeep buuuuildiiiing
