Hey guys, I just read an article about this outfit and checked out their website. They take full sized engines and reverse engineer them down to a 1/4 scale. The final product is a running engine. I reas the article in the print magazine but I believe you can read the same article online at--- machinedesign.com---- It tells what all they put into downsizing and making these jewels. If you can't read the article great, if not you can still check out their site where you can see the finished products. I don't see any pricing anywhere but judging by what the article was saying their "quite proud" of them and I can understand why. Supposidly their next offering is gonna be a V12 Rolls-Royce Merlin engine like ran in the P51 Mustangs. This leads to my question. If you had your choice what engine would you like to see them to make?? First choice, for me would be a two cylinder Deere engine. Second and third choice in no particular order would be either a Detroit or a Murphy. I know the last two are diesels and they'd have to put an ignition system on them because the models run on methanol, but it'd still be neat to see even if it wasn't 100% "authentic".
