Ever looked at a V8 engine and wanted to see it work—not just as a picture, but live? With this V8 Engine Model Kit you build it, run it, and show it. From pistons to crankshaft, it brings real mechanics to life.

🔧 What makes it so special

Authentic engine mechanics: This isn’t a toy—it’s a working 1/6 scale 44 cc small-block V8 model with full water-cooling, overhead valve (OHV) design, and real moving parts. EngineDIY+1
