How exciting! Before you become an expert engine builder, the best engines to build starting out are model engine kits. That way, you can practice building various engine types without having to break the bank.
Most models are lifesize and include such components as realistic engine sounds and 5-gear transmissions. Here are some of our favorites and their price points:
  • Revell Visible V8, $78.00
  • BMW
    Flat Twin Engine Model Kit, $225.00
  • Porsche
    911 Flat Six, $175.00
  • Trends UK Haynes V8, $68.00
  • 1965
    Ford Mustang
    V8, $225.00
