Oldmopars Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 So I just got the new 007 1971 Mustang kit. I watched HPIGuys video and he said there are 2 engines in the kit. One is a 351 but I don’t know what the other one is. Any chance it’s an FE big block? It might be a 429? Just not sure what it is. I have not opened it yet, as I don’t think it would help me ID it. Can anyone enlighten me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Kind of a mish-mash, hodge-podge, but covered here IIRC: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmopars Posted September 16 Author Share Posted September 16 Thanks, I did read through that and it was confusing. As I read it, it’s a 351 and a 429 CJ. Any idea where to fine a 460 that would be correct in a Van/motor home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Revell '70 Torino GT (and Cobra) have a 429, the only correct 429/460. The AMT late Seventies Ford pickups have always had their engine called a 460 on the box, but it is actually a 360...different engine altogether.

Any idea where to fine a 460 that would be correct in a Van/motor home? If that were only true. It has a 302 and a 428 which are carried over from 69-70 kits. AMT and MPC rushed the kits to market and could care less if the correct engines and exhaust system were included. I did an extensive review of this kit about a year ago on this site.

Don't the Revell 1990 Ford F250 and F350 Dually truck kits have a 460? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 They might, but those are 1/24 scale, newer version with fuel injection. For an early Seventies Mustang or Cougar, the Torino mill will be way closer in terms of equipment and an easier fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I gotta look at one again but, I believe it's a 351-W in the R-M F-250..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmopars Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 Well, what I am wanting is a 460 or even a 390 for my Motor Home project. I’m using the 77 Ford Van and it has a small block. I may not worry about it as the engine is kind of hidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box says "7.5 liter"; that would be a 460. Even if it is, it's a more modern setup, and 1/24 scale, way different from a stock early Seventies engine.
