K&B 3.5 ABC 1/8 Car Racing Engine Vintage!
One hot K&B from sunny California!
A vintage 70's world champ racing engine featuring 2-piece crankcase (easier to service), front induction & rear exhaust configuration, schnuerle ported ABC PSA (aluminium piston in true hard chrome plated brass sleeve with double boost ports), hardened steel crankshaft in dual high speed ball bearings, horizontal finned heat-sink cylinder head & the twin outlets exhaust.
The K&B 3.5 was by far the most powerful "out of the box" 3.5cc engine ever produced by any manufacturer. The aero version (less powerful than the car version) was the first 3.5cc 2-stroke model engine to produce more than 1 bhp (0.88 bhp at 22,000 rpm with a 5mm ID Perry micro carb).
Condition
wise, this engine is new & turns over
smoothly with tight pinch towards the top of the stroke. The patina
& burnish reflect its age. This engine comes with shelf worn box,
generic K&B instructions, decals & the exhaust with double outlets. These Car engines were supplied without RC carbs by K&B. The vintage new Perry RC carb & flywheel with clutch assembly shown in the photos are included for free for the winning bidder. The K&B crankshaft is uncut.
International bidders are welcome! Shipping worldwide at cost with tracking number.
The K&B 3.5 ABC Car; perfect for the vintage 1/8 circuit car & collector of the finest engines!
