Miniature Engines - They Run Too!

http://www.nvbackflow.com/engines/

Just check the link out. They've got videos, pictures, and price lists. Get this, you can buy your own OHV "small block"

V8 for $656 + shipping, and you can even buy a Roots Blower for the little sucker for another $320 + shipping!

They have cooling systems. Custom camshafts. Roller rockers. Custom valve covers. Headers. Freaking velocity stacks on top of carburetors!

I can't believe it. I wonder how much power those little badasses are putting out? I have now made it a goal to build myself a supercharged V8 kart to race up and down my local touge.

Ha, That's great. I've seen a guy build replica motors for small RC cars and such but, they weren't anything compared to this. I wanna put like V16 in my car now

, I imagine they're like lego's we could just take two of the SBC motors and bolt them up.

J, mold a mini-S130 for your kid, and plop a custom "miniaturized" L28 in there. I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

Oh, and guys, the Homestar head was to supplement the quotes around "SMALL BLOCK", which was obviously poking fun at the size of the MINIATURE engines. Jeez.
