1/3 $cale gas powered flathead

 

Seller says:

1/3 scale gasoline Flathead V8engine..this is called a Challenger., expertly machined , water cooled V8 engine .. electric start and runs superbly. The last time I saw one of these being sold by “Ministeam”, they were over $10,000…I don’t think any are available any longer ..shipping and crating would be high . This weighs approximately 40lbs so local pickup would be the best .. I’m 15 miles west of Boston ..

Hmm, wonder how this would do in a riding lawnmower?

There was a retired machinist on the HAMB board some years back who was building a 1/3 scale traditional style hot rod in his home shop.  He had the flathead engine constructed, and was working on the other components like the differential and transmission.
