Ok my first post here at cnczone.
I have been following the excellent work Steve Hucks has done on his demon v8 build and, Steve´s engine together with cforcht´s beautiful larger version has inspired me to start building an v8 model engine.
Thought I could share some pictures of it so far.
It´s a challenger v8 (Yes know its old)
I have a long way to go still but hopefully it will run in the end.
Machining on the block is completed and i managed to fit the liners to it. Had to machine to bore after pressing in the liners as they got a "bulge" at the water jackets.
The valves and lifters are ready.
Crankshaft is started and I plan on making this as a cross plane instead of a flat plane as is stated on the drawing.
My machines to help me on the way are 2 lathes emco V13 and maximat mentor 10. Milling machines a CNC converted ZAY7045 and a converted x1 both running mach3.
