Casey Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Does this kit contain a (mostly?) correct Poly-head engine? Not concerned if it's correct for the book/movie car(s), just want to know if and/or how close it is to matching the look of the real engine.

Drake69 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Here is the pic on the side of the box.... It is definitely missing the dual carb setup of the 350 Super Commando. I'm still learning about engine identities, but that is a pretty glaring ommission when you consider how it's depicted in the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80mirada Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 The engine is pretty poor, it is a 350 b-block with a polysphere intake and the exhaust manifolds are for two different engines, one is for a b-block and the other is for the poly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mredjr Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Round2 would do well to retool the body completely for this kit. The top looks chopped and the side trim does not line up. I was so excited when I found out they going to tool this kit. I bought one at a show the week it came out opened the box looked at the body and gave it to the guy that set up next to me.

Sledsel Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I like em!!! They look pretty nice. Did you modify the bumpers on the blue cars yourself? I like them much better without the optional ends. This is one of those kits that I did not notice the flaws on, but now I see them, they bother me a little, but I still have a few in my stash.

landman Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Does anyone know whether the engine in this kit is the 318 or 350? Or are they externally identical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louie Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I always like to think that I know a lot about car's in general ( that is what I like to think ) but I do have an open mind ( that way I will never stop learning ). Well I learned something new on this thread. I never knew how much this kit is off until I read everything. Wow, I always thought that it was pretty accurate until something's where pointed out. Thanks for pulling this one back up. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
