Chevrolet 400, Aerovette mid-engine application. OHV V8, 400 cu.in.

 

First time I looked at your topic, your forum name ought to be Mr. Motorhead!  Love the diorama setting, was wondering if there is a stack of all these engines in a back room.
I had to comment on this, since I just assembled this very kit today.  The instructions have basically everything aluminum, which is boring.  I've used reference pictures, but don't recall the block being orange.  I was wondering about the chain drive cover, makes sense to be black, now I *need to* modify mine.  I painted the starter black with silver solenoid, to have some interest.  Otherwise, Box Stock won't allow plug wires.
Love your passion, keep motoring!

There is a stash, and it WAS in a storage room of the dio but it sorta has outgrown it. Now it has its own cabinet.

I am not that sophisticated Carl. All joking aside, I am using a Model Master color called SAC Bomber Green at the suggestion of a member here.
