I found this video of a model engine. It looks like a Stude V8 to me.

[Flashback]

I agree, looks real close. Does anyone, other than me, remember seeing the one on ebay?

[Carl Purdy]

Looks like Furd to me. I think it is a Furd 460.

I don't remember seeing it on Ebay, but I do wonder about that fixture where the transmission might be, and how its speed is controlled.

If you look at other videos you will see a light dimmer switch attached to an electric motor.

I always thought that that visible V-8 was based on a Cadillac. Maybe not.

quote "shared with Cadillac"

"The first 'good' OHV V8 patent that came up 'for sale' was purchased by a few car companies. Stude and Cadi among others both bought it, and tweaked it to suit them. Thats why so many early OHV V8 engines look the same......."

The advertisement he shows in another video says these came out in 1960. It has a full flow oil filter, so that leaves Studebaker out as being the sole design. I'd say it's probably a combination of different V8's from the era like Cadillac, Stude and Ford Y-blocks. I watched a few of his videos, pretty interesting how he converted a display engine that's suppose to run about 100rpm to go over 5000!

I built my first one in the early sixties....
Buy mine didn't spin at 7 grand!

Stereo litography at its best!

Well, I guess I'll have to buy one and put a baby Paxton on the front of it and see if I can get 8 grand out of it!!!

Do you have any citations or references for this? I'd like to read more.

Check out the Ford Alluminator Engine halfway down the page. You'll need the engine for the Eaton supercharger, but sure, we can swing that !!

This looks like it is the same one.

I'm clear on the Visible V8, so I wasn't asking about the model, but about.

this reference. I'd like to read more about it.
