For anybody that might be interested, I posted up two model engines that I've been working on in the Model Cars forum. I'll just post a teaser pic here and a link to the thread. Any time I post up new engines over there I'll just reply to this thread with the link... Thanks for looking :wave:

Great Work!!! I like the way you left the hoses on the Poncho, it looks like it was just pulled out of a Goat. I assume these go into display cases. Do you install these into models?

Nice. 389 Pontiac V8, from the tri-power setup. A nice powerplant. I also love the Boss semi-hemi.

Bob, I don't install these in cars. I've got a few projects that I'm making engines to actually put in cars including a 95 Cobra and 06 Mustang GT for a friend. I've got a display case on my desk for my engines and 1/24 cars, the engines are at the top left...

These all look awesome!!! I got a dumb question for ya. On these AMT Parts Pack kits, do you actually take the time to put the innards in them? Why do all this work adding the cam and crankshaft just to put the block together and add the oil pan just to hide all of it? Have you considered doing a "cut-out"? Build half of one side but leave the back half open to show the inside mechanics. It wouldnt have the block webbing or pistons but would make for an interesting display. I had thought about it but my skills lack the ability. Food for thought.
