The Cake Kid

[sway9]

Hey guys im making a sugar sculpture for a cake competition and was thinkin i wanna make a car engine and i cant decide wht to make so i started this poll for everyone here to decide if you ahve any other ideas for the engine post here what you think it should be i have 3months to plan it minimum

bigger engine = bigger cake = win
why not a VR/VS 215i?

I went Gen III but would of prefer and old school carby 308 or 350!

[sway9]

yea ive made 2 "green" models so far from modelling putty ones a 308 and the others an AMX 451 ill get my digi camera sumtime and get pics for ya's. 215 sounds good too

A 350 Chev with a 6/71 blower on, how could it not be obvious

i agree with this. adding a blower on top = more cake.

Lol, how would the 4.2 look any different to the 3.8's?

[sway9]

the 4.2 would have 4.2 stroke or 4.2 stroker or 4.2 written on the rockers. i was thinking superchargers but its just mounting it on the sculpture thats difficult. ill make a green model of a charger kit than ill see what happens. HEYYY thats gien me an awsum idea. im gona start makin sculpture engines and parts and post em up in a photography section on here or something coz i like modelling things thanks for the insipration guys

ECOTEC! Jokes - Regardless of what you do it'll be the smaller details that make the cake, are you doing just the block or all of the bolt on stuff as well? Intricate small details like spark plugs would make it stand out and obvious that you've gone to a lot of trouble.

that would be pretty mad, id buy a cake if it had a blower, i said gen3 aswell but blown carby 308/350 would make a fkn good cake

[wildss]

VN got leftovers

and vp got nothing

[STEALTHY™]

and vp got nothing

Makes sense, why would holden need to homogenate a VP GroupA when GroupA racing was dead?

im doin the entire engine including exhaust system. i started a "green mould today for a 6 and an 8 got headers for both 6 and 8 tiwn exhaust system with single cat, rockers and building a belt driven supercharger and looking into doing coil packs and leads tonight in hope they set for tomorrow.

its not having cake inside it'll be entirely made from "plastic" icing the stuff they use on wedding cakes so its still edible but its mainly sugar :P and we're giving it an airbrush too.

i have a request if anyone has pics of a GENIII a buick 3800 or an ECO can they post em up or send a link to me by PM so i can get a full clear picture of what im making just looking for smaller details

thanks Sway
