Source for a decent Chevy 396 engine?


Recommended Posts

Craig's right. That's the engine that I used in mine. You just have to transplant the transmission mounts over onto the Chevelle's bell housing or add a transmission cross member.

For a kit based one, the best one that I have found is in the Monogram 65 Impala SS 396 2dr hardtop kit. Excellently executed engine.The ones that I have robbed the engines out of have a picture of the real impala on the box painted a horrible pale purple color. Monogram kit #2470. And like has been pointed out in several different threads on here, in scale a 396/402/427/454 are all visually the same. This kit: http://www.modelcars.com/monogram-1965-chevy-impala-ss-396.html

Since it is 1/25 scale, it might not work for you though.
