Crazy long shot: Accurate Miniatures McLaren M8B engine

[LDO]

Did a cat knock yours off the shelf? Did your dog chew the front end? But seriously, I would love to have the engine from a glue bomb, unfinished project, whatever. It’s for a future show rod project. 
 

edit: or whole kit
 

Thanks. Lee

I know this doesn't help, but there is hope out there, maybe Iceman or one of the 3D parts guys will have or can print this

I've bought several files from this person on Cults3D, and the files are really nice and have printed out good so far.

That engine looks good. I have a friend who can print custom parts. I’ll look into it. 

For the show rod project, I found a different V-8 with mechanical fuel injection. It’s the Buick Nailhead in the new Revell 1930 Ford Model A coupe. The same type of engine in this build from 1967. It used parts from an Uncertain-T. That kit is too expensive for me to use for parts. My project will be a tribute build.

Here is a pic of the McLaren M8F engine from Cults3D that I printed out recently.  I haven't cleaned up all the parts, and a couple of the small parts I left on the supports.  I usually print extras of the small parts just in case.  It looks pretty good to me.
