Greg Myers Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 My question here is, How do the early Monogram Hot Rod kits stack up this way. The kits in question would be their Model A's, '32 Roadster, '34 Ford, '36 Ford,' and "40 Pick up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 Like the early AMT hot rod kits where their engines fit from kit to kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) Their engineered motor mounts and chassis mounts are all the same. A little work on some body parts might be necessary here and there, i'e' putting that HEMI from their '32 roadster kit into their '40 Fords.

Greg Myers Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 If it fit in this engine stand that came in many of the early kits, you knew it would fit in those early kits. '32 Ford roadster and coupe. '36 Ford. '40 Ford coupe and sedan. '34 pick up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 I've noticed the Blue Bandito has the same frame as their Coupe and woodie and phaeton kits thus the engines are interchangeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) Another question, what are all of the engines available in these kits ? Stock four banger in the '30 coupe and phaeton. Early Cadilac V8 in the '28 pick up. Pontiac V8 in the one of the '32 roadsters. SBC three twos in the Tee bucket. SBC six twos in the woody What have i missed? Edited September 7, 2019 by Greg Myers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bug (feature?) in the forum software. Or maybe you accidentally discovered another combination of different words which triggers the dreaded 404 error.

Flathead in the 40 Pickup and Multi carb Pontiac in the 36 Ford (great for backdating the butchered 32 Ford roadster kit) The 34 Ford had a Pontiac as well, but morphed into a neither fish-nor-fowl quasi SBC when it became the ZZ Top Eliminator 33 Ford Some of the Tom Daniels kits provide additional options. The Bad Medicine kit, for example, has a really nice vintage SBC Weiand blower intake, GMC supercharger and drive parts that fit the SBC engines you mentioned. The Son Of Ford came with a nice set of Algon injectors for the Pontiac engine. The poorly proportioned 57 Chevy kit from the 70's has Rochester FI that fits the SBC's too Edited September 10, 2019 by garagepunk66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garagepunk66 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Greg, I goofed on one of those suggestions... The 36 Ford has a multi-carbed flathead, not a Pontiac. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 and i was just getting ready to bust open a factory sealed kit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Still the pickings are slim compared to the early AMT line up. Three twos, chrome intake and heads on a flat head, Three twos or six twos on a Chevy small block with some of the nicest finned aluminum valve covers And a great Pontiac with Six twos or injection' AMT has the numbers but these are much better detailed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garagepunk66 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Greg, here is another source for the Monogram Pontiac.... The Tom Daniels Sand Shark aka Dog Catcher kit. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/monogram-instructions/show-rods/monogram-sand-shark-/scan0006.html#media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
