I found the following on the GB forum, a 103cc V8! It still has that distinctive V8 rumble!

Right click, save as!! (burble, burble)!

Whooooaa! Save that anger for the football field, Arin!

Maybe if you channeled that energy, your team could've scored that extra 3 points to help you win in your one loss.

Just remember that exact moment (10:20 your time) in your next game, and knock some guy's head off.

That thing is awsome. Now if only we knew what its output was and then maybe Ford might get their hands on one and put it in a decent little 2 seater roadster. That would own and man that thing is tiny. Did you see how small it was compared to that guys hand.

So how did he get spark plugs for that thing. Wonder what kind of oil he uses. To me it looks like a ford flat-head.

The gecko has a new engine for his car.

Since I saw that I've been thinking of building ne of my own.

$1000 budget

Titanium Block(has to be strong, it's small as well so it's viable)
V8 90degreee configuration.
Styled after a pontiac 455 or an Ls1
Have to be carbureted
Titanium rods, pistons and crankshaft
14k Redline

Only problems
Heads-very intricate for a small piece like this.
Spark Plugs , valve train, cams, etc

I'm wondering I'f I could steal original pontiac designs and have a shop that does work like this build it.
