Thumbs up Cheap 1:8 Ford V8

I'm not a scale builder but I stumbled across this on accident and just thought i would share with everyone
http://www.calmuscleparts.com/store/...29441C240.aspx

EDIT: It actually appears to be more like 1:18. must be a typo! thanks for catching that, monkeyracer

That looks like it's actually 1:18th scale.

Unless a 1:1 ford V8 is 16" long...

Thats kind of what I was wondering as well. I am looking for an engine for my Bronco, but maybe the checkbook would allow for me to eat another 11.00. If I do go with one I will post up picks.

those are christmas tree ornaments and they have the specs right but the scale is a typo,,,,

Specs:

• Aproximate size is 2"L X 1 3/4"W X 1 3/4"H. With it's attention to detail and high quality resin construction, this ornament is a must have for any automotive enthusiast.

typo it is! I did not read that closely. *edited* well then it may be cool for a mrc scale build if your rig is small enough would have been cooler if it really was 1:8 but i think 1:18 is also pretty neato
