Hemi Engine Build Up!

Kev · Post by **Kev** » Tue Mar 27, 07 7:39 pm

Not quite up to the same specs as CannonBall, WiseArse or BirdBloke! Here's my Hemi! Follow the build up! Might take some time! The modelling board is graduated in 1" squares so you can get an idea of the size. And the golden nugget helps those not Imperially literate. The block is in several clear pieces to enable easy assembly (and could you imagine the cost of trying to cast a bit of plastic as complex as a block?)

Cheers, Kev.

That Rocker gear looks a bit more robust than the MP offering.

I hope you line honed the mains and will use plastigauge at the appropriate time...

ADAM get a few more cash jobs in and you could buy my real hemi, i could throw your way a matchin 69 440 R/T SE CHARGER needs resto mild, you could clone it as a hemi car, now that would be a bit off kit wiv your 440 car

It appears that the cam is n MP offering, just spent 40 minutes filing all the lobes and having to straighten it with Carole's hairdryer!

Philth noticed it must be some kind of Bizarre Marine Hemi! Can you spot what he's on about? Cylinder heads next!

Rotating in the wrong direction, Kev.

Not sure what's wrong with the engine though

Back of the class for you

Sandy could be right but how can you tell the direction of rotation at the moment?
