Steve,
I will be running my engine(s) (if I ever complete any) using CO2. Can you tell me how you set up the pressure regulation from your source?
I have a 20# tank with a regulator that is normally set at about 100psi. I am assuming that I would use a ball valve to control/reduce the pressure along with a gauge to measure the output, and then a barb end to connect the air hose to plastic tubing.

Sorry but i have never used Co2 to power the V8. I just ran it on compressed air. The video shows the engine running at 60 PSI.

Guess I know what I'm going to build next. I'm a Ford kinda guy so mine will be blue tho
Love the sound; sounds like it has a mild cam in it. Could easily see this in a mini '67 Camaro.
Great job Steve!

The intake manifold has a symetrical bolt pattern so you can turn it around and get the distributor up in front.

Holy )#&(*%@_ batman!
Thats AWESOME!.....sounds like a late 60's SS smallblock to me!

I have been there with the cam. I also made my crankshaft 3 times. I have 2 crankshafts that look like horseshoes for sale.
Thanks. With the addition of the stand, we are hoping for a top 3 spot. Then you get there and see all the other work that is also very worthy.
Fingers crossed
Steve
