Front wheel hydraulic disc brakes on a couple of them. The vast majority of the Raco Indy cars have a single brake on the drive shaft.

Would love a link to your build!

Unfortunately no. It was purchased before I was able to try. I’m finishing the build for the buyer this winter right after the current build for a friend I’m working on now.

Several differences - Bigger block, heads, pistons, etc…. integrated water pump, visually more appealing as well.

I’m aware of 1/3 scale V8 models but not 1/2 scale.

@@TheMiniCar I'm thinking a 1/2 scale v8 would look cool in a go-kart sized t-bucket.

I accept that. The engines will be the focus of the sound when they are being featured going forward. Thanks.

Thanks man. I’m glad they are both shipped out to their owners!😂

I have built a few for people and am finishing up a couple now. Going forward I’m only selling the kits. The time involved in bringing one of these together is a lot. I love the hobby. I love my family time more.

He sold, retired from mass run production and moved to TX. He's doing well.

I totally understand the sentiment! His work is worth the hype for sure.

Both the original Conley’s and the clones/Australian engines are displayed. The clones are shoe at the end. Will get a sound video up soon.

No. Gary is retired from making engines. There are Conley clone engines still being made. I’m not affiliated with them but I have purchased some of their engines. Here’s the link. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?sid=quarter_scale&isRefine=true&_sop=16&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaZmCOo__8T8EqwcbGl9dhGaNKWZT915e27uaxT7tPCxqQuflNX6KmZaHbc_aem_AX7qzOsVCmIge8qdXInmaNNsXlGh0_8YcgQfo0pNaQMYYlxM65J6NEnCOSui_5t9UQlJy8B2JdAUUcwDet_j6mjM

Yeah sadly Gary retired and sold the business. A front sent his 427 into the new company to copy to get the production going again but as of today, they owners have yet to produce anything. My fried has a dozen Conley engines. Some of his prototypes and we need some parts so hopefully the new company will start production soon. He has 2 of the clones and they have their issues. Biggest so far is the pushrod and rocker geometry. I had to modify all the rocker stud shafts to get the max rocker arm travel out them. On both, the rocker arm will hit the pushrod guides and not allow the lifter to be pushed all the way in its bore. And both engine wiped out their camshaft and lifters with very little use.

@@jdsstegman that really sucks to hear. I'm going to buy one soon and hopefully start milling improvmemts

@@jacobguthrie6973 so far both head gaskets have blown, 2 snapped rods, crank snapped between cylinder 2 and 3 and wrecked the block, wiped out camshaft and all the lifters, the pushrod and rocker issues, 2 burt out ignitor. So far that the lis on an engine on a stand towing nothing with about 1 and a half hours of run time. I'm new to these and I don't own one. My friend is also a friend of conley's. He even has a conley v8 with an overhead cam with a timing belt made from a stock block and heads. It's really cool. He even has the 427 engine that was on the TV show Tool Time. He has had all his conley's for years and runs they almost daily. And sure, they have has their issues but noting like the Australian clone. They are not even comparible except in look and they are both v8's.

@@jdsstegman what rpm was they turning them when all that happened? Maybe over revved them?

Thank you for the love. The Mustang is indeed one of the cars on my list. I’m finishing a couple more Corvettes, Daytona and GTX cars for some friends first. They are time consuming and expensive. Send me your email and I will send you some information. edosan3@gmail.com

I used SLA for the chromed parts. Going forward I’m considering just using metal for all the chromed parts. Chroming so many small parts for such low runs is not the best option cost wise.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I’m working on a Mopar build with friends for a close buddy of mine. Will post a couple videos of that build. His is a Pro Street Superbird. I’m building a modified GTX for myself as well.

Thank you. They are a challenge to build.

@@TheMiniCar beautiful , I would like to see a 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop some day

I sell them as kits now. edosan3@gmail.com for info.

Amazon

I don’t know those cars but that sounds cool.

Yes but I’m winding that down. I’m finishing 5 builds for folks now however I primarily just sell the kits to folks.

I’m Pennzoil fan as well. Cancel what?

I know the feeling! If you are a builder or know one that will help you, order a kit. It’s a lot of work and so satisfying to see the final result. 😤😉

@@TheMiniCar I've built many nitro rc cars and real cars so sure I could do it. I have mates to engineer parts, just the engine price is a bit expensive for me.

Got pulled away by my kid’s band and a few other builds!! More coming soon…..

Metal Hobi. They are located in Turkey and have a website.

I’m a C3 fan as well. It’s up next…. Stay tuned.
