Well after much sweat and elbow grease my new engine is dyno ready. I'm hoping to see some really good numbers. Here's a few pics....

HAHA! Hit hobby bench over the holidays. I haven't built a model in years so I thought this one would be fun. Not really difficult, and everything was painted, so it really was almost like cheating. This motor has some sentimental value for me as my dad had a hand in R&D for this motor with Ford back in the 60's. Someday I'd like to build the real thing with him. It should look good in the office!

Nice job from the first picture it looked real. There is a lot of detail there.
