Look like a great training tool. High-school auto shop classes would be good with these. If they have a chassis setup for them they could build the car in the semester and have races at the end for extra points.

"High school auto shop classes"

Is there a known price on those?

My Mom bought a Revell Visible V-8 model as a Christmas gift for me when I was 11. The knowledge gained came in handy a couple of years later when I changed the fuel pump on the 283 in my sister's '58 Impala. My first automotive repair.

If you follow the link in blue that he put below, you find those kits are $1,000-$2,000 and more, but they have some cheaper ones similar to visible V8. I have enough full sizes ones to keep me busy for at least 6 months right now I think, plus I plan to pull the engine out of my boat and turbo it, besides some other stuff the boat needs, such as some mounts for a little bench seat.

Thx Barry, I was grocery shopping while looking at that vid..I was skipping around a bit so didn't give full attention.
I figured about that price. Very detailed machining etc. Those cylinder. Sleeves were great amongst other things. I was joking on the engine build. Figure you have enough of that during the day. At least you could sit at a table and rest a bit while assembling one of those......haha

Nice....I bet that was a great learning experience. As I was watching that vid. I thought this would be a cool Xmas gift for my step son ( 37y.o.) until I thought about the potential price... then I thought... uh... fuk that. Lol I just spent thousands helping him build a badass 468 for the advantage jet boat I gave him.

Got the same one for Christmas myself. I had the parts scattered across the living room in 10 minutes.

Saugus or Canyon high school has a great auto shop. Laser alignment rack and some neat tools.

I'll have to check out canyons. Didn't realize they had one.

 

[fat rat]

All I see is a bunch of swearing!

 

[mjc]

can you put it in an RC boat?

 

[jetboatperformance]

I'll put this in the category of "watching/letting someone else do it " Kind of like hand loading rifle and pistol ammo , it was fun and enjoyable BUT I'll just buy a box of cartridges ..............

 

[spectras only]

Why bother building a table top display, instead of building a complete car?
