I wanna build a wicked custom, just gotta find the right engine! I want something with lots of flashy chrome and is V8 of the late 50's vintage appeal. Maybe a 3 duece set up or something non-supercharged.

How wicked do you want to get?

Allison wicked? It's completely chromed.

I would suggest the Revell parts packs for some nice and period correct engines that were released a decade or so ago. They are plentiful for reasonable prices.

[Sam Cates]

You could go AMT Allison or try one of the Revell parts pak engines, the entire engines are chrome.

SBC 283
Cadillac 354
Pontiac 421
Ford 427

The '34 Ford Pickup kit has a chromed T'Bird engine...

I agree with Dale, the parts pack parts are amazing in terms of possibilities.

I have some Revell Parts Pak engines 3 Chevy, 2 Pontiac, 5 Ford. You wanna wheel & deal, send me a PM. Where the heck is Yulee, FL? It doesn't show up on my Atlas. I'm in Citrus County near Dummellon and Ocala.

I have ordered many from them as well. Very nice touch to include a handwritten thank-you note.

Yep, the vintage AMT kit came with a REAL nice tri-powered y-block fully chromed out. I'm not sure if the Lindberg version of this kit still comes with it.

[randx0]

The AMT 60 ford starliner has a really detailed engine that has a 3 carb set up. a good one if you are going for detail.

_{The '34 Ford 390 is an FE, not a Y-block}
