I was checking out the modeling forums looking for tips and ideas and I ran across this promo.

http://www.gomotorbids.com/Promo_HemiEngine.cfm?Lot_ID=854804&Loc=120

I just signed up and ordered mine. It doesn't look like the best quality and it's only 1/18 scale, but hey it's free. Alot of people at the forum have already recieved there Hemi's so it's no joke. Just register. Go to checkout and the item is automaticly placed in your cart completely free of cost including shipping. Be fast. I can't say how long it's gonna last.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up, just signed up and ordered mine. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the heads up here on the diecast boards GH. Of course this kind of offer really screws the already member. Ah well, the smell of progress....forget the people that brought you here and covet the ones yet to come!

Wow, and I did'ent want the motor anyway! Just think how I would have reacted if they had something I really wanted?

But in all seriousness, thanks for the link.

Am I to understand that you were already a member, Ward. If so sorry buddy. That does suck. Your really gonna hate me when I tell you that they seem to be substituting the Hemi for a Ford 427 cammer with some people.

Thanks for the heads up on the freebee. I hope they don't do the swap with me. Still, free is free. I don't think I have that Ford cammer engine, either. I have a hemi but with chrome valve covers.

I signed up for a freebie ....Wonder if the motor will turn ?

NOOOOOOO!:p

Just my luck! Yep, I am a member, but seldom buy from there. I guess I'm the reason they decided to make the offer in the first place!:)

I'm already a member too. When I signed up I got free shipping on my first order. That was more than $40, and since I'm not a mopar fan, I think I got the better deal.

THANKS for sharing the link though:thumbsup:

Heres a few pics someone posted of the actual hemi motor they received. No, nothing turns on the motor and there is no wireing or fan belt, but with a little customizing it should make a nice little display piece, or even a new motor for any of you guys out there with 1/18 die cast mopars. Also don't expect your motor anytime soon. If you read the fine print it looks to take 4 to 6 weeks to recieve if thats all you oredered from them.

Ward, I'll tell you what. If they send me a cammer it's yours. The cammer sounds nice but I really wanted the Hemi.

Thanks for the link, what an awesome deal especially for a Mopar fan! :thumbsup:

I hope that this comes soon so I can put it with my 1:6 scale Testors HEMI. :)

They forgot the sparkplug wires :freak:

Looks like my order went through so I guess I can add wires to mine when I get it :)

I signed up for a freebie ....Wonder if the motor will turn ?

Rub a little Ford grease on it and it should run! :rolleyes:

I signed up but did not read it till now. Good thing because you have to check out. Took a look around and some neat stuff on there just wish I had disposable $$.

Thanks Troy, I registered..I'm into most of thier categories, and frequently shop online model supplies and projects for customizing.

Good link my friend.

Very cool indeed !!! But I'll have to pass, I have toooooo much stuff now as it is... I'm not a Mopar Nut, I really like them though, so I'll let mine go on to a real Mopar lover !!!
Thanks for the link !!!

I signed up. Nothing wrong with adding a new site to shop from.
Thanks!

Well, my Hemi came in the mail today. I was shocked by the speed in wich I got it (3 days) after reading that it would take 4 to 6 weeks. Like I stated earlier nothing spins, not even the fan. The pulleys don't seem to line up very well either so adding a belt will take a little bit of refitting. I'm also a little surprised of the heft of the motor, it's got a bit of weight to it. All in alll I can't complain considering it's cost and it does look pretty nice sitting next to my mopars :)

Thanks for the link,,
Just ordered mine.... with some custom work, should be a nice looking piece to add to the shelf..

Wow, That's fast ....Knowing my luck, mine will take 4-6 weeks..... LMFAO

Just recieved mine, not bad at all! It's missing the oil filter but thats an easy fix, and adding plug wires will be a fun and quick eye catcher! Thanks a bunch Grayhouse!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I got mine after a few day, too. I figured they would be flooded with new sign-ups. My other Liberty Classics engines are 1:12 or larger (doesn't say on the pieces), so I was surprised at the small size--although I knew ahead of time that it was 1:18. Nothing really to behold, but it's free. Still, I love the hemi and it's a welcome part of my collection.

Got mine today too. That was fast! three days from when I signed up. I was also surprised at the weight, and I agree, with a little mods, plug wires and a belt it should look real cool. You certainly can't beat the price!

Thanks for the heads up :thumbsup:

Thanks GH,:thumbsup: This will be my first promo freebie and my first engine! Anyone got a pic of that Ford motor :rolleyes: I think I would like one of those more, thats just me:freak:

I got mine in record time but I was thinking it was going to be much bigger!

Would someone be so kind as to post pictures of the mods they do to this engine? Not being very mechanical OR familiar with the actual engine, it would be cool to mod it to look more authentic. And for those like me who aren't that knowledgeable about all that needs to be done, show and tell would be wonderful!

Thanks in advance!

Here's a couple of pics from a member of another site I belong to. He's added plug wires, fan belts and a fuel line although the plug wires and fuel line are too big IMO. The only thing missing is the oil filter.

I got mine today! didnt even take a week.
