One of my latest projects. Now to try and put some linkage on it. It' roughly a 1/4th scale. Gary

I was always impressed by the aircraft engines of word war 2 when I was younger. Have made a couple small radials that run on air and decided to try a V-12. It's not a copy of any particular engine. I looked at Allison's and Merlin's and just decided to make something that had a somewhat...

Hi guys, Have been playing around some more with a miniature valve cover. Was looking for something rather unique and found some photo's of the Boss 429 and needless to say that is unique so I gave it a try. Not an exact example but looks fairly close. Was lucky enough to find one Boss 429...

Oh Bob, Nice big sparkplug !!! I know I said miniature automotive items but I enjoy doing various miniatures. Here's a couple fake carbs mounted on engines I have made. Carbs are roughly 1/2 inch tall and long. Engines run on air. Gary

Thank you for the info 63 dream'n !!! I went to the site and did get length, width and height.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Bob, Here are some drawing I have used for small block dimensions. Not sure if you will be able to see all dimensions. Mine is not an exact copy, just some thing relatively similar. Not sure if I will get around to putting a crank in it or not. Gary

Thanks guys. Robert, I usually look at photos or the real item and take dimensions off them and use my mill and lathe to make the parts. You also asked about size. The little crank is not scaled to anything, just wanted to make a tiny one. It is about 1 7/8 inches long. Little block not scaled...

Wasn't sure if this was the place to put this but it is a hobby of mine. I just signed up yesterday and enquired about dimensions for the 348-409 valve cover. Thought some of you might like seeing some of the other stuff I have done. Just really enjoy making tiny engine items. Gary

Hi Guys, I am new here and am looking for some info. I make miniature engine parts (air cleaners, valve covers, etc.) and have been looking for dimensions for the 409. I have found them for other engines like the small block series and the 396-454. If someone has a cover laying around could you...
