Every Car Enthusiast Should Own Some Bricks
Brick building can be therapeutic which is why you need bricks. LEGO® bricks that is.
Over the past few years, I've compounded unhealthy levels of stress. Seeking relief, I discovered a new hobby that revolved around auto restoration. However, my wife and I quickly realized how expensive this could be. When waiting for parts or weather to get better, I decided to fill my spare time by revisiting a childhood pastime.
V8 Chevy Big Block Inspired LEGO® Engine MOC
In my youth I remember dumping tons of LEGO® bricks from my popcorn tin containers all over my bedroom floor. I'd spent countless hours constructing things from spaceships to cars, even creating tanks for my G.I. Joe action figures.
Building something from nothing was always fun and very therapeutic. With that sentiment in mind, I bought a few LEGO® sets and started building again. It was just as I remembered.
Nevertheless, building with real bricks wasn't enough. So I found a LEGO® design tool called Bricklink Studio. The software has virtually every LEGO® piece ever made. So I started to craft my own creations, better known as a LEGO® MOC. A favorite MOC of mine is a 1984 BMW e30 M3 brick build inspired by our very own e30 project car.
Stepping out of my comfort zone, I'm excited to share one of our first LEGO® MOC instructions: a miniature brick engine inspired by a classic V6 Chevy Big Block. This MOC doesn’t require lots of parts and even has its very own engine stand. Check out the free instructions below to get started.
We’ve also launched custom Brick Engine Kits made with genuine LEGO® for sale in our shop. These custom brick motor kits come with all the LEGO® pieces needed for you to assemble the set yourself along with access to digital step by step instructions.
We also vow to never charge for our custom LEGO MOC (My Own Creation) instructions, so if you already own bricks check out our FREE section to start building today :)
