Not to be rude, but the "v8" in the link looks extremely crude, and does not look to be any kind of running engine. While it can be fun to build anothers design, if you are going to bother, you may as well do a good job at it. Most in this hobby want to get as close to the real thing as possible, for instance:

Sorry, I have no desire to do that sort of work. Sorry for jumping the gun.

Thanks for the replies Dennis and Spinnetti,
There's a market out there for unique engines. There are some pics and examples on the http://groups.yahoo.com/group/V8_Engine_builders
board.
I'm not in the position to build the V8 from the plans on my site but have had a couple of enquiries from folks who want a completed engine. If you guys have completed running engines for sale, you're welcome to put them on my site (assuming you don't like to sell on ebay).
If you would like to build a V8 to sell, I'll send you a set of plans, on the proviso that I can offer the finished engine for sale. The castings are available from Florida USA, but you'll have to purchase them from my colleague @ $50US
Should you have engines for sale contact me at oldcramo.splinter@yahoo.com (remove the dot splinter)
