For all you out there who like big, honking V-8' engines, check out this tiny version that you could run on your workbench or kitchen table. This model was built by a craftsmen the same way the big ones are made by machining billet stock and castings, but in miniature. This is not just a model that looks like an engine, it is are real running engine. These photos were taken from the Joe Martin Foundation Craftsmanship Museum but many more images can be found elsewhere on the web, and engines like these can be seen in person at model engineering shows around the country.

The late Lee Root built this scale Corvette engine. The major components were machined entirely from solid billet aluminum that has been bead blasted to look like castings, and it will turn 18,000 RPM! The coin you see in some of the photos for size reference is a US Quarter. The valve covers are just 4-1/2" long, and the miniature spark plugs are commercially available.
