At least 13 years ago I read in "Wheels" an article on someone in the
US who makes miniature working engines FOR SALE. He did smallblock
Chev V8s and a Ferrari (V12?) and I think others. The Chev was 20cm
(8") or so in length and revved to 10000rpm. They were suitable for
working model cars, boats etc. POA, no doubt! They were accurate down
to roller camfollowers etc. Amazing!
