Very Cool!

Every summer in the small border town of Lynden, Washington, they have their annual engine, tractor, and steam show. Among the hundreds of mainly farm and industrial engines on running display, including a 1 cylinder, 600hp@ 30rpm monster with 60 inch piston and 60 ft diameter flywheel, is a fellow who makes engines from scratch. 1, v2, 4,v8 and v12 4 stroke engines the size of your toaster. They all run, and are water cooled, and he pipes propane into their little propane mixers [carburators]. They are for sale with a repo of a 350 Chev engine @ 5$K US funds. they make fascinating sounds.

Ciao, Steve G.

If it's the same person we're talking about , yes it did run replicating also a V sound engine of the Ferrari , in minature volume.

I don't know if his run. check out the website he recreates the WHOLE car down to the electronics and brake lines. I think on the reasonable side they sell for $18,000 I wouldn't be suprised at all if he made some that actually ran too. You gotta see the detail the wife was looking at one and I said "look at this thing its like a 1/32 model" she said "no way"- true story
