It's been called one of the best V8 engine model gasoline machines ever developed. Just looking at the images will show you why. The detail is extraordinary. One online review said it was "more representative of" an engine "found in a modern performance car." The Build Your Own V8 Engine Model from Machine Works has movable parts, lots of impressive chrome, pulleys, fans and cylinders that light up, all coming together to create a detailed twin overhead cam V8.
The first V8 engine model came at the turn of the 20th Century when aircraft designer, powerplant engineer and inventor Léon Levavasseur got a patent on his lightweight but powerful injection V8. He named it after the daughter of his backer. 'Antoinette' was installed in early aircraft and competition speedboats before it was ever used in a land vehicle.
Today, no one could imagine an automotive world without the V8. The Build Your Own V8 Engine Model will demonstrate why. Putting it together, you will see the delicate nature of the V8's operation. You will spend hours studying the V8 engine model, appreciating its power, beauty and contribution to the world of driving.
