Finally finished the Challenger V8 from Coles and what a challenge it was for me. I still need to make a few improvements to the carburettor but it is as good as done. It can sit on the shelf for a while now as I have started another Holt 75, I sold the first one I built so maybe this one will be a keeper?

Well done great work - looks and sounds just like it should.
 
Your engine looks and runs great. I hope I get the same results. I am currently building the Challenger V8. Got the crankshaft, pistons and connecting rods installed in the block. Next comes the cam. I was looking over the prints and don't see any reference to the crankshaft to cam gears or the bevel gears for the cam to distributer shaft. Can you tell me how you pursued this.

Thanks in advance
Greg
