6bblbird Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 If you purchased a Revell '70 'cuda kit you know that it can only be built as a Hemi car, but if you have a decent stash of Mopar parts you can change it up a bit. A 383 car would have an 8.75" differential. I used one from an AMT '71 Charger. It only needed a bit of narrowing. The exhaust pipes were easily modified by splicing in the head pipes from the parts box. I used the Hemi block but mounted the wedge heads, intake, and exhaust manifolds from the parts box. Although the kit's Rallye wheels would have been correct for 1970, wanted to use the 14" Magnum 500 style wheels. The " B5" blue paint is actually a G.M. color Nassau Blue Metallic but it looks close to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
