LDO Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) I got a book about the Offy which showed several with superchargers. I think it's a pretty neat idea so I'm building one. Engine is 1/8 scale from TDR. Supercharger is scratchbuilt from Evergreen styrene. Some machining, some hand shaping. Edited August 29, 2009 by LDO
Bernard Kron Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I/8th scale, huh? That should give you a great canvas for all the intricate details of this beautiful motor. Is this the book you're refering to, Offenhauser by Gordon Eliot White? If so I can see why you're motivated. If not, it's a must have for this project or for any race car engine buff...: Looking forward to following this build!
LDO Posted August 23, 2009 Author Posted August 23, 2009 The book I have is by Kenneth E. Walton. I need to find the White book.
Bernard Kron Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 The White book is commonly available. It's out of print so the price has gone up. It's on Amazon.com starting at about $100.00 used. The Walton book looks awesome. And it's still available direct from the author (who, interestingly, co-authiored the White book). I'll have t save my pennies and get a copy...
