V8 Engine Model | The De Tomaso Forums

Speaking of models..... got this see through V8 engine model for my birthday. Pretty neat, but it came with a little crank that you insert at the end to turn it slowly and watch the moving parts.

I threw out the crank and put a motor on the motor. The kids love it!

It's in progress but the best is yet to come! Stay tuned :-)

Finally completed the model engine. It has variable speed and flashing spark plugs.

William,

That is awesome! I can just see it on/behind the counter of the local "Oil & Lube" Race-track Bar! Just needs a thumping subwoofer beat to complete the experience. Great work!

With the firing order being correct it really gives you some idea of the "flow of flame"... It's cool...

For fun, I made another video where you can see the relationship between the spark plug, piston, and valve timing.
