It looks like thoes are just the engines and no much more. So you would probably have to spend a handful more money to get everything you need to get it to run.
Hell thoes kits for the full cars run into the thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars. Looks fun though.

Buy one and let us know how it goes.

Would I be able to mount the engine on some nice looking board and have it lifted up like in that V8 video you posted? I think it would be neat to have that running in itself although it seems like it wouldn't have any real use once it's done being built...

Unlike a nice center channel

I thought that people that built those mini engines did them from scratch with a machine shop. THere was a guy who built a viper v-10 and that I think was from scratch.

It isnt the type of thing you can be a little into. You better know a lot about engines before undertaking a project like this.

Look under the hood of any Honda. Why reinvent the wheel?

Look at the pictures again. They are non working model engines. All show and no go.
