Simply amazing and cool:

For those with ADD:

If the youtube isn't showing, its on the link provided...

WTF?

Did not everyone see the machining this guy had to do to get this to run? Its simply amazing!

ahhhh... screw it, that's what I get for trying to appeal to damn footy hooligans and spotty students*

*though I am definately kinda in both catagories myself

Edel, You need a hobby, or a life.

I thought it was pretty neat. I couldn't even begin to fathom the time and effort that goes in to custom machining something like that.

Impressive, but not as impressive as the guy who built a Ferrari to the same sort of scale. Without wishing to kick off a row, I think we can assume that a Ferrari engine is a little more complex than a Chevvy block (550HP from 3litres vs about 250HP from like 8L). Most impressive thing though was that it (as the guy himself put it) "played the music", ie it actually sounded like a Ferrari.

Cambo, Googled it... had not heard about it before. that Ferrari is amazing (do note that the Chevy engine posted though is half the size of the Ferrari scale).

The video I could find doesn't give it justice. Wish i could find one that showed most of the parts in an exploded view....

here's the link to the Ferrari I found:
