russosborne Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 For the Badman kit. I never realized that the kit engine was a 283. Thanks, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Irwin Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Because the Badman is 1/24, I would look for one from the Monogram 1970 Chevelle SS, although it's a 454, they look the same outside.

Guest Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Craig's right. That's the engine that I used in mine. You just have to transplant the transmission mounts over onto the Chevelle's bell housing or add a transmission cross member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russosborne Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Sounds good. Thanks! Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydar Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 VCG Resin has a 1/25 454. I might use that in my '69 Chevelle. Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toner283 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 For a kit based one, the best one that I have found is in the Monogram 65 Impala SS 396 2dr hardtop kit. Excellently executed engine.The ones that I have robbed the engines out of have a picture of the real impala on the box painted a horrible pale purple color. Monogram kit #2470. And like has been pointed out in several different threads on here, in scale a 396/402/427/454 are all visually the same. This kit: http://www.modelcars.com/monogram-1965-chevy-impala-ss-396.html Since it is 1/25 scale, it might not work for you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) I would go for the engines from either the old Monogram 66 Malibu Street Rat or 70 Chevelle 3 'n 1 as both are the only supercharged engines I know of in 1/24th scale.
