Gee, I don't really know, but my guess is they must be a pair of Hemis? smiley-confused005
You're not doing 8 Hemis pulling something around? smileyCACETROO_zps365bb43e
Whatever you are up to, I'm sure it is going to fly like no reindeer can.

Skippy, you know, you ALMOST woulda have been right, 8 Hemi's like Santa having 8 Reindeer. I thought of 9 however but still thought that was a BIT over-road-kill! 8 painted green one painted Red, but, nahhhhh I ain't got the time for that one! Altho, if I had........... LOL  Gonna be a FUN one,. thats forsure! More to come as pics are taken! |

Ya know Ice, its funny you said that... "With these, there's no way he'll be late for anyone." BECAUSE, the 2 seen here together would equal 1,220 CUBIC INCHES! They're "610" EACH! I couldn't say what the horsepower or torque would be I'd hafta sit down and figure out a buncha numbers to come off with a realistic HP and torque quote..... road-rage-smiley-emoticon |

WOW! I have been fascinated with multi engine vehicles lately (think Challenger 1, Showboat dragster, or S'COOL Bus). I can't wait to see how this turns out!

Dennis, HELL NO I don't! WAIT an see whats comin!  JK, Yeah, this one is wild! I'm having a blast! EVERYONE, remember with me, almost ANYTHING is possible! I scratchbuild like no other, and this is one fine example of that. this whole build is actually scratchbuilt, with absolutely NO plans what-so-ever! Scary part of that? Is the fact that with no plans "winging it" means it can go in ANY direction, at ANY given time! So far, the engines, are my castings, this would include, the engine block, transmission, the heads and the valve covers, the blowers are left overs I had, and the blower "saddles" that sits between the heads, and the bottom of the blower is a machines piece of plastic that I made glued together multiple layers of plexiglass to get the "look" as I had NO blower saddles to fit these engines, or even the blowers to even think of modifying them to try to use them, so.....I made my own. THEN the pulleys, I had them matching, I used them from a left over kit. The details that are coming........OMG, I'm about to unleash serious power on this build, so, STOP talkin John and post some updated pics would ya!!!!  ?? I can hear ya all now!    WHAT? You thought I'd just "modify" a existing frame to hold these beasts? Not in a million years! Ole John has to make EVERYTHING seemingly difficult so, I scratchbuilt the damned frame too!  Wouldn't be me, if I didn't! THEN.......Those who know me, know me well... seeing these as they are, you know I CAN'T STAND leaving things alone it HAS to be detailed...... |

Dale.
Thanks Buddy from Downunder!
Sick in the head maybe! LOL I'ma crazy !@@##$$%%^^ just for doing this, its just out of my jurisdiction to make some crazy thing like this, but the funny part is, I'm actually enjoying it. AND that whole thing I'm realizing where it comes from!
My Dad! He loved Christmas, and here for the past while I was "falling away" from Christmas, but since Dad & I have had our differences and all, its beginning to come back, even tho he's gone, he left me with something....
And I'm beginning to realize it! WITH THIS build!

Here comes the detail people.....  Not sure if ya can see it well, BUT in the front of the engine there is the distributor to each of the 2 engines, they're MSD clones I made, they were turned on my lathe from a solid plastic sink plunger handle that I found for 2 bucks a 3 foot handle at a local bargain "close-out" store........ Yeah, I bought a few, they turn real well in the lathe for some such things and they also glue well with ALL plastic glues I have, Ambroid, Tenax 7R, Plastruct, Testors, Super Glue, Crazy Glue, you name it, it all works on this plastic! AND it turns so well, I look for it all the time for this very reason! The only waste? The plunger head! Makes NICE parts tho!   Shows a good picture of the Distributors! ----^  The silver "Valve Cover Breathers" are turned aluminum rod, that I just held onto 1 inch long slugs for some such project needing something pretty small, one section is all it took to make all 4 of them!   NICE detail work going in and coming out to be seen from my camera! Took some advice from a fellow forum member here and hes right! The wire looms I'm using, they look GREAT, even tho I can use the Photo-Etched ones, the heat shrink tubing, looks and works really well! (He KNOWS, who he is!) Thanks guy! ENJOY, more to come as I build! |

Dude this looks good. Going by the colours and style of the engine, what about tinsel plug leads? Fairy lights would be overkill, lol
