What Hybrid said! There are very few things in the world that sound as good as a flat head V8.

They had an exhibition on Eugene a couple years ago with hundreds of different small engines.
This guy was there and wowed me.

I've always wondered has anyone ever put one of these miniature engines on a dyno? Do they put out real horsepower that can be measured or do they put out just enough to run.
I'm not slighting the builders I'm just curious.

of course they produce power. They might not be able to do much, having smaller parts though.
If you ever go to a antique power show you can usually see a bunch of old hit-and-miss utility engines that people bring. Some of them will be running miniature hay balers and popcorn machines or fans. pretty much anything you can figure out how to run with a belt.

even the oldest washing machines were gas engine driven.

I would love to put that supercharged V8 on a gocart frame just to see what it could really do! That thing was chilling when he revs it up.

This stuff ALWAYS spins my crank....
Check out this website, he has a blown V8 running on alcohol. It sounds like a mini top fuel motor.
I corresponded with this guy a few years back, pretty neat guy.

Perhaps I'm just badly wired, but I always want to go the other way.

I want it....
