Sledsel Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Am I delusional, or do the Revell Dodge Intrepids have Chevy engines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 That era Revell Cup kits all had somewhat generic 'Chevy' engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vietnam Vet67 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) In the real world the show cars built in 2000 had 358" LA engines based off standard engines. The race cars had a completely new design called the R5/P7 which came out in the first season in 2001. If the kit was based off of the show car they might have used a Chevy engine to save costs etc Edited October 18, 2018 by Vietnam Vet67 additional info added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I didn't like the kits because too much generic stuff. Thx I just looked at a Taurus block and it is definitely not generic. Looks like a Ford. Oil filter location, timing cover/water pump, starter location all look Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PettyKW43 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 It did have a nice set of Dodge on it , and with a little creative fudging the Chevy is easily turned into a Dodge, one need only to look online for pictures to see what you need to move around, dimensionally they weren’t to far off of each other!
