Small update
After looking through my rims and tires I have found a set that I’m going to use.
I put some paint on the engine and should have some pics of it later.

Does the kit come with one. I do not remember.
I don’t think it dose. I’m just wondering where it would be on a 1:1 and what it looks like so I know where I can put one.

I am building the monogram Shelby cobra and I was wondering where the brake master cylinder is located and what it looks like?
Thanks.

Out of curiosity are the two exhaust pipes so that you can use the kit sidepipes?
Yes they are. The sidepipes are one of my favourite things about the cobra and I want them to be functional.

You asked for color suggestions but I'm not clear if you're asking for comments on the engine color or body color.
I was mainly talking about body colour but you gave me some ideas for the engine to.

I started building the intake and mounted the intercooler yesterday.
Still need to do some modifications to the exhaust and some other small things on the engine before I can get paint on.
I’m still unsure on the colour for it so let me know what you think would look good on it.
Let me know what you think.

yes, you are right, mine had 2 headlights and had a 225 slant 3 OTT like yours
was kind of a really lite brown almost beige color, factory paint. don't have no pics, was over 37 yrs ago. my dad and his buddy were drinking one nite and I managed to talk his buddy into selling it to me for a 100 bucks, a lot of money for a 14 yr old back then...
actually that New Yorker outweighs the D100, by a good amount. mid '70s 440 yorkie is right around 5k, the '60's sweptlines are right around the 4k mark, give or take.
I remember reading somewhere here that 426 said he is a teen, 16 yrs old. going to go out on a limb here and say funds are prob tight. while a D60 would be nice, I would use exactly what he has, throw the combo in there and at least get the truck mobile. drive it, have some fun, when the job and money start rolling in- upgrade...
I know I frankensteined some combos together as a teen, mostly due to LOF (lack'o funds) did the usual sb in a vega, a 283 into a Datsun 620, and a ford 390 into a amc hornet. car was all stock, motor was all stock, but was scary fast, in 3 months the doors dropped an inch when you opened them, twisted the car right up...
11 hours ago, Casey said:Don't even think about using the 8.25" rearend. It will not last long behind a Big Block in a truck that heavy and with steep gears. You'll want an 8.75" rear or a Dana rear, either or work will hold up far better.
You might also want to look into the NY'er's engine a bit more, too, as it will need a lot of work (read at the machine shop) to make that heavy brick of a truck run quickly. I suggest you poke around over at the www.moparts.com forum if you haven't already, and especially the Truck section. What you want to do can be done, but it's going to cost you $8,000 easy to do it properly and safely.
Dieseldawg you are correct I’m 16 and don’t have a lot of money.
I bought the newyorker for $200 and that will give me almost all of running gear to at least get it to drive. My dream is to have a 426 hemi with a 4spd and a Dana 60 with 4:10 gears but I will need a lot of money for that so it will probably be a few years till that will happen.
I got the seat pulled out the other day and here’s a pic of the interior.

I got the exhaust biult today and mounted the intercooler. After looking at picks of intakes I have decided to go with a setup like the one in the picture below.
let me know what you think.

Looks cool. As soon as I saw it I thought of this from top gear

yup, looks just like my old fargo, 426. gotta love the way the hood cracks up to 90 degrees out of the way, and the 2 big seats or tool benches under the hood that most people called the inner fenders...
and your yorkie is the same as my mom's old '77 that I used to drive as a raging teenager. same engine, 440. used to flip the air cleaner lid over and stand on the throttle- one tire fire for 2 blocks...
Yeah the hood opening up like that makes it ease to work on (my hood probably opens around 95 degrees thanks to a wind storm) and the wheel wells are great for sitting on and setting tools on when working on it. On the 2019 ram post you said yours was a 66 Fargo so yours would have had the two headlights, the big tailgate and oblong tail lights where mine has the four headlights, small tailgate and round taillights. What motor did yours have?

Here’s my 1964 dodge d100. It’s currently a work in progress so I hope it’s ok to post it here.
It was my great grandpas truck that he bought brand new and was only driven for ten years and had 39,000 original miles unfortunately they let it sit in ever since and the motor is now junk and the interior is tore to apart thanks to mice.
So now I want to biuld it as a drag race truck so I pulled the original 225 slant six and 3spd manual trans and pulled of the front clip to get ready for a 440 RB blue block and 727 trans from a 1978 Newyorker. I will also use the front suspension and the 8-1/4 rear axle from the newyorker.
I will hopefully have the motor and rear axle in by the end of next year.
Let me know what you think and if you have any questions just ask.

sounds like a cool old truck. my very first truck was a '66 fargo (same as the d100)
post a pic of it in "what do you drive"
it currently has the motor pulled and the front clip off but I can post it there later.

hey man, no problems, all good!
I just take any chance to educate a dodge
(i'm a old truck guy)
All old trucks are good and I just don’t like any Chevys that are newer than 1988.
the main reason I’m a dodge guy is because I have a 1964 dodge d100. My great grandpa’s truck that he bought brand new.

that's a monster truck with rollers on it, usually for transport
square fenders do not limit tire size, depth of the inner fender does. you can take a stock truck and prob physically fit a 35" tire in there and not rub, when you hit is when you turn the wheels, and all new trucks are lousy at this. new truck inners are very narrow compared to old trucks, the inners in my old '85 are well over 2 feet wide
ever notice how old trucks can get away with say a 6" lift and 37's, whereas a new truck will need at least 8 or more inches of lift to fit that same tire in there, or, even more stupid, they will let half the tire hang out past the fender instead....
being a die hard gm trucker, can't say i'm crazy about any of the 5 trucks posted (like my old) but we are thinking of getting wife a new truck, and there's a good chance it will be a 4 runner instead of another general in the driveway
I know it’s a monster truck I just take any chance I get to make fun of a Chevy (I’m a dodge guy).

I am not sure who thought the squared off fender openings was a good idea.
Yeah the square fend are not a good idea. It creates problems with running big tires you need a huge lift

Thanks guys.
I have a question about the intake. Should I run the 3 Weber carbs with the turbo or should I biuld a fuel injection system?
let me know what you think would be best.
-
Not a big fan of them. They are better that the Chevy thoug.
I personally think the last great truck was the 2nd gen 12 valve dodge.

Is this a screen shot from "Back to the future"?
Yes it is.

Thanks guys.
I just realized that I said it was a revell kit but it’s actually a monogram.
23 minutes ago, mecklm said:To the REAL author, this looks like a very cool project. The wire wheel spokes appear pretty thin, making them particularly suited to the car. Please carry on and keep us updated
The wire wheels are from the kit and I’m still not shure if I’m going to run them or not.
I will try to keep you guys updated.

Today I cleaned out my trucks interior and it was a nice surprise that ther was only one small hole in the floor. I was expecting it to be holier than swis cheese.
