Re: just a question :P
There is a guy in germany that makes engines I believe that are called shillings? There is also a guy here in the US that makes some kick ass looking engines http://www.replicaengines.com
There was an awesome ford flathead V8 on ebay a week ago for $3200!!

Re: just a question :P
Yea, I sure do. Shelby was selling it. Awesome deal, wish I could have swung it right now, but too much stuff on my plate at the moment...

Re: just a question :P
thanks mike!!! that is nuts!!! I would love to get my hands on one of those. I have seen a 1/3 scale one before too. I would take that one too. any flathead sounds awesome. I wish these engines were mass produced to bring the price down a little. One can get the challenger V8 for $6500. That’s out of my league

Re: just a question :P
Yea, I think these V8 engines are out of the question for most of us. The only reason I have a conley is because I paid a stupid price for it ($400)
This engine would look sick in your 34...

Re: just a question :P
Yea, I know. I bought it a couple years back. It was one you had to build, but it was all machined. I got it from wolfgang in europe. I dont know why he sold it for so cheap. He had also sold a conley cobra with engine for $2000 but I missed out on that one...

Re: just a question :P
Providing you have the resources and ability to machine one there are many versions of the Challenger V8's out there.. Personally I'm going with the Ken Hurst 1/3 scale blown V8...Mainly because of it's scale appearance.. most 1/4 scale V8's actually don't look quite to scale as the car there in..sk8freak123 wrote:im just wondering, does anyone sell a cheaper v8 than conley?? with a tranny and elec start so i can put it into something or is conley the only way
Do some model engineering searches on the web and you will find a hand full of groups and forums with some very useful info on nearly any type of engine out there!
