bobthehobbyguy Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 What kits have vintage hemi engines? The ones I can think of. AMT 1932 Ford roadster AMT Ala Kart AMT 1953 Ford Pickup AMT Garlits Wynnsjammer AMT Parts Pack Engines
Jantrix Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 AMT '53 Stude Starliner. Revell '32 five window coupe.
Art Anderson Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Hmmm! I'm gonna have some fun with this one! Monogram PC-1, Offy Midget, Monogram Kurtis Kraft Indy Roadster, AMT 1963 Agajanian Willard Battery Special Indy Roadster, MPC 1968 Rislone Spl, AMT 1973, 1974 & 1975 McLaren Indy Cars, AMT 1973 & 1974 Olsonite/Jorgensen Eagle Indy Cars, Revell Kurtis-Kraft Offenhauser Midgets. Those ALL have engines with hemispherical combustion chambers, in essence, Hemi's! Just to stir the pot while I chuckle! Art
afx Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Since we are going there Art, Ford's 429 is also a Hemi. Edited June 25, 2015 by afx
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Later version of the Stone Woods Cook Willys (black car) and its derivatives. (The original SWC Willys had a 394 Olds.) There's also a rare Revell parts-pack Chrysler Firepower Hemi (basically the same as the Miss Deal Stude and the Hydro, but different...) Edited June 25, 2015 by Ace-Garageguy
Mark Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 AMT '61 and '62 Buick Special station wagons; the '63 Nova wagon includes the same engine but with more of the parts plated. The Boss Nova rear-engine thingy has it too. Similar to the Double Dragster's early Hemi, but with nicer valve covers and a couple of intake setups that aren't in the dragster kit. The Revell '41 Willys coupe street machine has an early Hemi also. A lot of it is shared with the drag version, but this one has a Torqueflite transmission instead of a GM Hydramatic, and it has block-hugger headers and a streetable water pump/alternator setup.
unclescott58 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 It mighty be easier naming model kits without Hemis. Scott
bobthehobbyguy Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 Just thought of another. Aries chevy in meisterbrau puller
unclescott58 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 How about the recent Slingster Dragster (and of course the Sizzler it was based off of. Scott
Crazy Ed Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Just to add a bit of garnish to this salad: The entire Jag XK-* line Porsche Boxsters up to and including the mighty twin turbo 917/30. Hemi's were used fairly regularly outside of the US.
Snake45 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 OP asked about "vintage Hemis," which I personally took to mean Chrysler engines of the 354/392 family.
Guest Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Current Revell 70 Cuda, Revell 67 Coronet, Gtx, amt 68-69 Roadrunner- GTX, AMT 70 Superbee. Edited June 25, 2015 by midnightprowler
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 All revell 41 Willys kits. Not quite "all". (see post #11). The original Revell Willys drag car, the light blue Stone-woods-Cook car, had an Oldsmobile engine, and so did some follow-on re-releases of the kit in different packaging / markings. The later version of the SWC drag car, the black one, has a Mopar Hemi, as do the derivatives of it, like the Mazmanian car and the street machine versions. The easy way to tell if a Revell kit has a Hemi or an Olds is whether it has opening doors or not. Open doors = Olds, re-tooled body without open doors = Hemi.
1972coronet Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 OP asked about "vintage Hemis," which I personally took to mean Chrysler engines of the 354/392 family. While I definitely recognise what your point is --and agree with your point--- the category of "vintage" has some relative newcomers ( e.g. , "Gen 3" 426 Hemi , which was last installed in a factory-produced car in July 1971 ---- 44 years ago [!] . Then there's the Mark IV ; FoMoCo's 335 and 385 Series ; etc. ). I'm 45 years old , and the realisation that my favourite cars are as old --if not a bit older-- as me , is only adding to my self-imposed midlife crisis ( ha ha ha ha ) .

I believe that all the engines that the OP listed as examples of what he's looking for fall into the 354/392 family I mentioned. Prolly that's where I got the idea that that's what he meant.
