cooltoys1 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Being a NON-rivit counter, i used the intake and carbs from the newer Revell Merc. You have to shorten the generator though, it hits the carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to shorten the generator though, it hits the carbs. Considering that the Revell '49 Merc comes with a 50's Cadillac OHV V8, Cadillac and Olds used essentially the same basic layout of intake manifolds and cylinder head porting, so in model form, that's a parts swap that should work pretty convincingly.

Ace-Garageguy Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Considering that the Revell '49 Merc comes with a 50's Cadillac OHV V8, Cadillac and Olds used essentially the same basic layout of intake manifolds and cylinder head porting, so in model form, that's a parts swap that should work pretty convincingly. Art Actually, the Olds has a large water-crossover in front of the front port-runners (the Caddy has a different configuration) and looks rather different from the Caddy manifold.The 3-two-barrel manifold in the AMT '40 FordTudor sedan kit, for the Olds engine option in that kit, fits the new-release Revell Olds engine perfectly, and has the correct water crossover, if anyone's interested. The red manifold has the water-crossover first, with the upper water-hose neck (the nub next to the oil filler tube), then the front port-runners, then the heat-riser portion on the manifold, then the rear port runners.

Lyle Willits Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I made a replica of the Edmund 2-carb Olds manifold. Replicas & Miniatures should have them very soon, packaged with 2 Stromberg 97's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
