Check this site out. This guy built a 1/6th Scale Chevy 327 engine and it actually runs. The detail is incredible. See the video at the end. It would be interesting to see what applications this could be used for..

That is absolutely incredible.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that video, or a similar one. It is amazing. Something about it reminds me of the movie "Honey I shrunk the kids"...honey, I shrunk the smallblock?!

Outstanding!

That's very cool. But I think to be able to do something like that you must have WAAAAY too much spare time.

Cool....but how does he keep it cool? I see no coolant lines to the water pump or intake?

That's a guy who's wife won't let him buy his dream car!

Would it be an oxymoran to have a 1/6th scale Big Block??

Have to agree with Tony, he's got alot of time on his hands. I wish I had that much time to work on my car, it would be incredible too! lol

It's cool though, not taking anything away from the guy.
