Alexvoc Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Curious, on one version of the box art the Ford is shown with 3 velocity stacks on an interesting looking manifold. Not to mention an interesting engine! Anyone know what engine and intake this is actually supposed to represent? Kind of cool looking. Might be neat for my Switchers 32.

oldnslow Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 That's a nail head buick , with cast spark plug covers . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 oldnslow is correct about the engine. Buicks had a very distinct cover for the spark plugs and wires. The "three stacks" look like an old 3-2's setup. The manifold looks like an art's creation of a "high rise" type manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Not a "Highrise" just typical to the Buick cylinder head lay out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexvoc Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Thanks much for the replies and included threads. Got me fired up to finish off what I started. I should've guessed on the Buick. Forgot about those spark plug wire covers! On the intake, the Switchers Chevy has a cool vintage-tech looking dual quad plenum option which looks similar to the amt-SnG box art. In real life I don't think those large plenum systems lasted long in street rides at least which why I like the period tech idea. Can anyone suggest a spot for a detailed 32 firewall. Mine is quite plain. Edited November 25, 2019 by Alexvoc Clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you looking for a stock style firewall for the AMT '32 Sedan? I have one which is designed fit he 1/25 Revell '32 Ford Sedan and 5W coupe, so I'm guessing it would need modifications to fit the AMT '32 Sedan: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan barton Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I have used resin copies of the Rat Roaster firewall on AMT bodies in the recent past and they just need the lightest of trimming around the top edge to give an accurate fit to the AMT cowl and allow the hood to fit. I also take the time to thin out the edges of the very chunky AMT hood - otherwise you have to do a lot more trimming! Cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
