Poppa Smurf would think that was "bitchin'".

You might need to drop a few more pounds off your car to make use of that motor though.

Maybe I could put four of them in like those tractor pull rigs...

About 20 years ago we had a speaker at one of Upper Canada Region PCA meetings bring two of his motors. One was a 917 engine. All 12 cyl of fury!

I wonder if the dizzies are functional, or just for looks. There were some 1/4 scale V8 engines w/dizzy awhile back that looked real, but they used glow plugs rather than spark plugs.

Regardless......That's a BAAAD little motor , I'd like to see the dyno sheet!

1,315 w/o the body.
I'm in the process of hanging the body panels back on it.
It's kinda tricky when you cut all the referance points off the car, than you try to hang a body on it.

Yeah, but won't that bump you up into another class?
