[MOC] Drag Race Hot Rod

[JoKo]

I built this car around the Flathead V8 engine with valve-train that I designed two weeks ago. Flathead engines have side valves, this allows the cylinder-head to be flat with only spark plugs protruding. Made out of Technic it allows the valves to close by gravity

The hot rod is minimalist with a single seat. No roof, no roll-cage, no seat-blet. Just a big V8 with a massive 4 lobes compressor and a huge air intake with working butterfly valves and throttle pedal. There is a 2 speed gearbox and four wheels suspension. 

 

 

And if you missed it there are more details about the engine there:

That fake engine is amazing! Well done on the valves.

indeed whole engine concept is amazing, but could you make proportions of whole model like this old school 32 Ford hotrod?

(and old-fashioned suspension )
