25v

[Steve Sears]

Hi all,
Interesting thread on the 25v engine.  Extreme Machines on TLC did a spot on
an telecommunications engineer who reverse-engineered (from photographs) a
Ferrari 312PB in scale so it could "fit on a dining room table".  The
basics: it took him 3 years to reduce the photographs to scale drawings, and
12 years in total to make the car.  It has a working flat 12 cylinder, 24
valve dry sump engine with 5 forward speeds and 1 reverse. (If anybody is
interested I can forward it to you).
The car's complete.....I wonder if he'd be up to the task of taking the
photos from Jens web site and making a cylinder head in 1:1 scale....
Another thought (along the lost-wax casting idea) - could rapid prototyping
produce the blank for a casting?
Man, I've got to focus on fixing broke things on my car rather than lining
up new projects.....
Cheers!
