Foam engines anyone?!

[speedminded]

They've been around for years, anyone have one or used them?! I could just imagine wandering around a junk yard with one on a shoulder testing what a V8 would fit in lol!

useless, but neat find !

[claybird]

i see these on power block on spike all the time

I'm assuming most of their customers are companies selling aftermarket parts for mockups...it would be a PITA to use real engines for that! Plus I'm sure there are places that buy these and rent them out too. One would be perfect for fabricating engine mounts...


useless, but neat find !Most things are useless to unintelligent people.

P-Ayr Lightweight Motor

"If you've never seen or used these lightweight motors for chassis design & building, let me tell you how I wished I'd had this for previous project cars. Features include threaded boss's for complete mock up & mounting of accessories and motor mounts, and it can be lifted into place without a cherry picker or hoist. Sure, this adds to the project cost, but using this motor for our motor & tranny mount installations will enable us to pospone buying the real engine till we are ready. This is important especially when the crate motor has a 12 month warranty which we don't want to expire while we're building the car. P-Ayr (payr.com) makes a complete line of plastic motors, transmissions, & other accessories for chassis construction and display."

Pete Mantell's tech session on MGB Ford 302 engine conversions was very well-attended!

"Pete highly recommends using a P-Ayr Products Inc. plastic replica engine block because it facilitate quick and easy mock-ups and set-ups. They normally retail at about $300, but occasionally are available at a substantial discount."

The California Hauler Part VI - Willys Truck
With the cab and bed resting on the chassis, we slid a plastic P-Ayr replica Ford small-block in place to figure out just how much space we'll have when the Smeding Performance engine is installed.

useless, but neat find !not really i used to work at a shop that used them a lot to mock things up. it keep things moving while the block is at the machine shop i know that for a fact. it helps when u have a yet block or if u need to mock it up and your building the motor on the side. saves time when doing exhaust mounts test fittings shit like that.
