Adding an engine to a curbside model


Recommended Posts

I found a great looking kit (2011 Camaro convertible) but it's only a curb side kit. I was after some advice and comments on whether it's possible to add an engine, and if so, how hard is it; where do I get the engine from; etc; etc.

I understand the requirements for opening the hood, and that's no drama - just have no idea whether it's worth tracking down an engine and trying to install it.

TIA

yeah, rather then going with a (expensive) resin engine i would try to find a donor kit (for about the same price)

not only will it have the engine and transmission you need, it will also have a chassis so you dont need to chop or fab it

on top of that this will leave you with more detailed suspension parts AND it will leave you with a body you might be able to trade off to a fellow member for whatever parts you need for your next project
