Ford 302 V-8 engine in 3/10 scale
« on: January 02, 2025, 11:48:19 PM »
 For those of you who have followed my builds on this and other forums or who have met me at various model engineering shows should be familiar with my Ford 302 V-8 engine. It was built in the late 80's so there wasn't any digital history of the build, just some pictures I took with my 35mm camera. I did one video many years ago where I was playing with the carburetion. You would have thought after all these years I would have done another, but I didn't, until now.
 Using the original photos and pictures from some of my other builds I put together 3 separate videos on the building and running of the engine. The videos are pretty comprehensive as to the making of the parts. After I posted them I thought that maybe I could have added more explanations but I think they present the background of the engine fairly well.

Thank you for all of the effort to put this together.  I'm only part way through part 2 so far, keep stopping and looking...

It was a pleasure to talk with you and see your projects up close and to have the time to really look at your superb projects in the more relaxed environment last year in Indiana.

I hope to see you at the Indiana show this year!

Stan
