57peppershaker Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 What kits come with modern Chevy big blocks ? I know the AMT 454SS pick up has, but anything else ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The AMT '67 Impala Street Machine has a "modernized" big block with multi-port fuel injection and modern valve covers. When Photobucket gets done with their maintenence, I'll send you photo of the setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The AMT 454 SS pickup kit engine is not really a modern big block IIRC. I think they modified the standard small block to look like a big block. Anyone else remember that? The above mentioned 67 impala is a good option. Ross Gibson engines has a modern FI bigblock. I think VCG resins sells a BB Chevy (572 CI) as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Define "modern" chevy big block. Are you looking for a new version of the 396/402/427/454 engine or a new engine like new LS motors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57peppershaker Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Ok, modern as in modern fuel injected big block. Already robbed few Vettes of LS1's. I'll look out for an Impala & a pic would help get the right kit. Check out VCG too I've got many 57 Chevy's in various states of build & looking for different engines for them.

Fat Brian Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Check the link, this is what the impala kit looks like and there is also a pic of the engine. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMT-67-Impala-Model-Street-Machine-Unopened-Box-/261080716060?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc99f931c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greymack Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi guys didn't the Revell 55 chevy sportsman have a modern big block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Here's a photo of the fuel injection setup for you Steve. The valve covers on this do not come in the '67 Impala kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi guys didn't the Revell 55 chevy sportsman have a modern big block? No. It has the "Oldsmobile" DRCE engine. It's based on the 366/427 Tall Deck truck engine, Mark IV style block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
