"Junior" Model Chevy V8 Phillip 

I've watched every scale V8 engine on youtube and this is far and away the best sounding one of the lot. Congratulations, you nailed it.

This is the best sounding model engine I have ever heard, great idle as well.

For the people that don't understand Afrikaans, they said that the motor took him 4 years to build. This is a great piece of machinery and only skilled engineers are capable of building something extraordinary like this from scratch

whoever machined the parts has mad cad -cam,& fabrication skill,even if its all pro-E,or solid works.. its impressive..

This would be so cool on a go cart or bike.

just appreciating the effort that would have gone into this.

It sounds just like the full size engine. Nicely done.

if you could start producing these in moderately large quantities you could sell them to every tech school, auto enthusiast, and go kart hobbiest in the world

Amazing, Loved watching the Video. I am an engine rebuilder and have huge respect for you. The dedication and patience to produce such a work of art is exceptional.

My congragulations to the builder! This at just over a thousand hand made parts? A machinist accomlishment extrordinar! My hats off to you my freind,,,this is really cool.

I could see this going in one of those old pedal cars from the 50s, now that would be awesome

this guy is proudly south Africa .............thats sweet .......when u played jimmy Dludlu song i was impressed

Now that's what I call a small block Chevy 😜

who ever built that engine did one hell of a good job it sounds just like a full size chevy V8 . it does have a way loppy cam but it sound amazing and the fact he went as far as to make full length headers to fit it is amazing in it self

the lil baby pistons are so cute

WOW!. No CNC, just a lot of skill and patience. What a beautiful job. Good for you.

This miniature engine stuff is pretty cool. Now I want to build myself a Chevy V8 like this one. Nice sound out of it (2:00)!

Mooi om te horen dat deze mensen Nederlands en Engels tot een fabelachtige taal samenvoegen.

Real men have to rev it; doesn't matter if it is a mower, chainsaw, motorcycle, Junior the mini engine, gas powered tooth brush. It's all the same and it's in the blood.

Congrats to the designer,machining and builder ,Outstanding..

I was hoping he would use a tiny torque wrench when assembling the engine.

Damn that sounds powerful! Throttle response looks really sharp! With that compression ratio you should turbo charge that beast. Good job!

that is awesome, where can i buy something like this unassembled, if you made this yourself would you be interested in doing a kit and how much. good work, impressive.

id love to see a mini kids car with this in the front , baddest kid on the block!

Meanwhile, im trying to put my mowers air filter back on.

so much detail! even a working cluch and oil filter!

This is what a man would call "cute".

One of the few that sound real. incredible engineering.

Imagine this in a go cart. with a tiny supercharger

That thing sounds like a friggin Asphalt Modified! Amazing Cam timing! WELL DONE WELL DONE WELL DONE!!

I bet this engine would power my VW beetle

seeing the engine run is remarkable, but for me when they showed the assembly it was fantastic. The only thing that would make it better would be to have a scale model vehicle with transmission and drive assemble that would actually drive that would show them using it as a working vehicle in scale of course. Kudos to the designers and individuals who assembled the motor and set it up to actually work.

This is probably one of the coolest things on this earth! Did you guys actually manufacture that entire engine yourself?

Very nice engineering and machining skills to say the least!!! VERY impressive build!! Your efforts are to be comended!!!! AMAZING work at recreating an American muscle car V-8!!!! Great job who ever was envolved in this entire project!!!! Wow, just WOW!!!

interesting, using the internal cam to drive the distributor still but having over head cams for the valvetrain, no pushrod bores to make or lubricate

Fine example that pictures or worth more then words, I couldn't understand a single word and im still more then impressed! Well done well done boys

He wan't 8 Grand for one of these, I could by A decent LT1 For that price!

I love the lumpy cam with it's rough idle overlap sound. That engine sounds like my big block 460 CID in my Corvette, only a little quieter.

Did you ever measure the power output (hp)? And awesome build. Well done!

Thanks.Great Junior Model CHEVY V8.Mmmmmmmm I love the way how you show it is assembled.

Yeah right - except Chevy V8s don't have starters on the left side!!! Try again Pedro!

If these guys actually machined the parts for this engine I am extremely impressed.

too bad they don't make kits u can build your self I would love to teach my son with one of these he is 9 and loves to wrench this would be awesome for a go kart but I would want like 75 to 90 hp atleast and as he got older up the hp with real life scale up grades heads cams etc...

that is sick never seen a v8 that small and it runs and sounds like its biger brother awesome job

That's an awesome little machine, but chevy v8's aren't over head cam. Why did u choose that over a push rod engine? Again, I'm not criticizing the amount of time and talent that took, but its not really a chevy v8 model.

Beautiful job!! Only in South Africa. Thumbs Up for this one.

Even though it's so small, it sounds 1000 times better than some fucking gay Honda engines :))

Even has a miniature engine stand that looks very authentic nice job man

I realise this is a year old but I am a retired mechanic and would love to build one of these and then install it in somethiong fundementally usable. Where can a kit like this be purchased?

That is one of the better mini's I have seen, very crisp

Idle sounds like Mazda 787B

You should get this put of the market man this is awesome.

ill put it in my son's power wheels

All you need now is a mini Superformance AC Cobra! Excellent job, very cool.

Put it in a kart

Loving the sniff of easy start to get it going!

whats the compression ratio,and hp/torque ? need to dyno it.

thats cool ass little motor, one day i want to build one and stick it in a bike so it can be my pride and joy

93k+ views and only 493 likes counting mine, wtf is wrong with you other people...

Dude better watch out for that fan !!! Very nice build ......

I don't think it would pull a go kart really. what kind of hp can u get out of it??

that is soooo dam cool sounds dam good too like my modified 55 Chevy I had when I was a teenager wow!wow WOW!!!

Did you built all the parts or bought some :D ? I am asking because i am intersted to make 1 v8 on my own

This engine is awesome,very nice indeed. The overhead camshaft concept on a Chevy 350 is interesting and the only thing I would change if building a full size engine of this design would be gear drive camshafts.

Put in golf cart

one of the only v8 models ive seen that has properly sized exhaust ports

where can i buy it ?

That little thing sounds like a beast.

If it leaks oil then it's indeed a Chevy engine...

It's magnificent best motor I've seen and that cam is like heaven

the ignition is over-advanced...

I can't imagine how awesome this would be in a go cart

Where do I get this? Can anyone tell me please

I'd like to see a bench result! Truely fantastic work!

Afrikaans

Hey guy, what for a nice toy! I hope you have a lot of fun with it. Greetings from Germany.

This is a fantastic bit of work, well done!

"All parts manually machined, no CNC used." You sir have to one great machinist. My hat's off to ya. I don't know how you got all the specs down, but that sound is a chevy v8 for sure. Not as deep but chevy. I'm a life time chevy fan.

Neil, absolute masterpiece in engineering !!!

I'm happy to see that this was manually machined I was wondering if it could be done without cnc thanks for sharing I now have more of an insperation to continue trying to build one great job by the way

Beautiful headers and sound

Finally, at about 2 minutes......................................................VROOM!!!! Frakin' cool!!!

Damn that's a good sound from that little engine. Sounds like an old Ferrari California" like the one from ferris bulers day off

Put that on a go cart frame and I bet it would roast the tires! Neat little engine

This is good for someone to get that is getting into cars and hot rods so that they can learn

That's amazing. Great video. I'd love to see one of these installed on a go-cart or a small motorcycle.

Yes very well done, congratulations on your fine work.

...the motor is full size...the dude is just huge...!

this thing actually sounds like a tiny 350 chevy cheers!!!

beautifull little engine, and such details in all of the parts. give every mom of a 5 year old a scare, (have their kids at highway speeds in a go-cart in no time!!)

To me it's a hybrid between a Small Block Chevy and 427 Single Over Head Cam (SOHC) Ford. Beautiful build!

Bearing caps do not like they have enough give in them. Might be worth while to neck down the bolts so they turn maybe 1/4 turn. The bolts need to allow some stretch when the engine gets hot so they do not pull too hard as the aluminum expands and contracts. On the other hand you have built this one and I have not! ROFL I only have full sized engines to compare. You have done a wonderful job. Thanks!

i wish mount that in a motorcycle, now i'm with a proyect of a drag bike using a zanella 80cc due engine (zanella was a great motorcycle manufacturer in Argentina using minarelli patentes, now only import chinese copies of honda) great job!!!

would love to see that in a badass rc car :)

Beautiful job! The work is amazing. That crank alone is a work of art. I can't believe how much negative commenting is in here though; makes me sad that so many people can not appreciate this project. I would wager that most people making these disparaging remarks have never seen a machine shop, let alone made anything more complex than a coke spoon. Using lathes, mills, grinders and precision measuring equipment is a skill that too few possess these days. And anyone that has a hobby knows that you can put thousands of dollars and countless hours into a project or leisure pursuit. Why blow shit at someone for following their passion? I imagine the personal pride and satisfaction of building this jewel is off the scale. As to not firing for the first few times...this is what it is like when trying to fire a fresh CARBURETOR engine with no know jetting specs. A brand new fresh engine light off for the first time can often give you fits. Yes if you are using a Ford/ Mope/ or Chebby, there are thousands of places to find jetting recommendations for your machine, but this is a ONE OFF, no such numbers are readily available .Fuel to air and electrons are not scalable... they got it pretty close. And a fresh build sometimes does not fire off the bat. Instead of throwing cold water on this remarkable achievement, or saying a real SBC is cheaper, spend 4 years and build your own. It looks like a great engine for the mothballed Junior Dragster or Quarter Midget. Just wondering on bore and stroke and did the builder use dedicated piston/ rods? Again, Great Job. The sound of it revving makes me smile. Thank you!

Sweet, like the grind on the cam!

Такие надо делать для автошкол, военных кафедр - чтобы все приведенное на видео каждый курсант проделал лично на практических занятиях по устройству автомобильной техники!

thats like a mix of a classic sbc,and a ford modular v8 awesome

Lo veo y no lo creo fantastico el encendido el clutch y es de 4tiempos la marcha .esta super eres .no tengo palabras para elogiarte

Chapeau l'artiste.... Magnifique...
