That little flathead was super cool to be sure. Check out this gallery of more miniatures:

Ken Hurst, the maker of the flathead, also made this:



The blower actually produces something like 6-psi of boost. His web page can be seen at:

Some of the parts are machined from stock, others cast. This is the cylinder block raw casting:



Or a crankshaft:

The page referencing the Napier engine reads "Clennel "Clen" Tomlinson is a 71-year old retired Electro/Mechanical engineer..." and "“I spent most of my working life with pencil and paper, “T” square, log and trig tables and a slide rule. I progressed easily to the calculator but a little more reluctantly to the computer..."

Old school and retired. A guy with those skills and intelligence would probably go insane if he didn't vent it by using his time making spectacular objects like that.

Mike, is that 3 banks of 6 cylinders? Looks like a diesal.

EDIT:

Read the page, that is 3 banks of 6 cylinders....Weird stuff.

rebel2k4 1-1-06 15:19

Thats some good [shizzle]. :lol: I wonder how much it cost to make that.

rally626 1-2-06 4:45

lol rc heaven.... that would make a bad@$$ drag boat engine , probably make a gnarly RC buggy engine

carnut 1-10-06 4:48

somebody else also makes a small 1/4 scale v8 that you can buy and put in a rc car, he also sells the rc cars to put the engine in. theres a video on his web page. He also made the only 1/4 scale viper v10 engine. the web site is http://www.conleyprecision.com/
