I would love to have a model engine like this (I know this one is custom made). WHERE CAN I GET ONE?!?!?!?

Here’s one shop that makes them:

Here’s another:

There are others, but I think the $6k to $10k and more is pretty typical.

For a list of do-it-yourselfer ones that have been made, look here:

Well, if you buy a bridgeport knockoff for $1300, get set up for casting aluminum (~$600?), buy a good metal lathe for ~$500, and about $400 in miscellaneous parts like pistons that are easiest to get off-the-shelf, you could be all set to make your own for around $3000 all in! Then you’d just need to spend 2000 hours making it. NO TIME TO LOSE!

To be frank, a lot of the above is stuff I’ve been working on getting set up myself, for other projects, so I’m not as far off from being able to do such an idiocy as most people.
