You’ve seen the transparent engine, now check out the world’s largest LEGO V8 engine and transmission. Built by auto enthusiast Evan Koblentz, this engine is modeled after the big-block Chevrolet 454 cubic inch V8, the same one found in the Corvette C3.
This engine was built from the ground up using various LEGO pieces, including ones from the discontinued Expert Builder sets. It isn’t just a shell of an engine, but rather one with moving parts, including the propshaft, crankshaft, cylinders, sixteen valves, and more. When all was said and done, Koblentz’s 4-foot-long engine weighed in at a hulking 39.6-pounds, all controlled by LEGO 4.5-volt motors running off a Laser computer.

I wonder if either someone that is from LEGO or GM ever saw this video and decided to give you a comment? You did a very nice job on your build, especially given your own self-imposed limitations on said build,” said one fan.
