JMD904 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I wanna build a wicked custom, just gotta find the right engine! I want something with lots of flashy chrome and is V8 of the late 50's vintage appeal. Maybe a 3 duece set up or something non-supercharged.

Harry P. Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 How wicked do you want to get? Allison wicked? It's completely chromed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drball Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I would suggest the Revell parts packs for some nice and period correct engines that were released a decade or so ago. They are plentiful for reasonable prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Cates Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 You could go AMT Allison or try one of the Revell parts pak engines, the entire engines are chrome. SBC 283 Cadillac 354 Pontiac 421 Ford 427 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 The '34 Ford Pickup kit has a chromed T'Bird engine... Yep, the vintage AMT kit came with a REAL nice tri-powered y-block fully chromed out. I'm not sure if the Lindberg version of this kit still comes with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
