iBorg Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I'm working on a gasser and I need a blown big block Chevy. I've looked at a few and they all seem lacking detail. Are there any good blown big blocks available? Failing that, what kit offers a good big block Chevy? All the ones I've looked at seems very soft on details. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Newer tool kits like the AMT '67 Chevelle and Impala, and Revell '65-'67 Chevelles and El Caminos, '68-'69 Corvettes, and '69 Camaros all have decent big block Chevy engines. One of the Revell 'Vettes has an optional blower setup. Most old-tool engines, particularly the AMT altered wheelbase cars', are on the small side.

Plowboy Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 If you can use 1/24 scale, the old Monogram '70 Chevelle has a decent blown big block. I'm thinking the last issue that's a B/M comes with headers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 The Revell 68 Vette has a nice blown 427. The valve covers might be a bit modern depending on what you're doing but those are easily swapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkyardjeff Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 The old MPC spirit of 57 has one that does not lok too bad and I have a extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 As far as just the long block portion of a big block, I think the Revell COPO Nova has a pretty decent big block - no blower set up though, you’d have to source that from another kit...I have three of those kits and you would be welcome to one of the engines if needed. I also have a bunch of the big blocks from the MPC Open Roadster Corvette - which is softer on details but has those drop tube style dragster headers (I don’t know what they’re actually called - Zoomies?). It also has a Hilborn style intake and metal stacks. I don’t have the metal stacks available, but the rest of the engine would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
