small engine
 

I had a mate come over last night and show me the engine he is making,what a work of art,this guy is self taught,
made all the parts at home on his mill and lathe.
he told me it will take about 3 yrs spare time.

What is he modeling it after?

The guys who build those engines are incredible. A few years back I stopped to visit Rumbleseat in Denver. He took me to visit Ron Bement who has built a number of various miniature engines. He makes every part of the engine itself right down to the bearings, Amazing..

The engine is modelled on a 350 chev,I asked him why not a flathead ,he said he could not get any plans for one.
Rob, Fairlane fixed ,was a blown fuse in the brake light circuit.
