AMT's 41 Plymouth kit

[Helper Monkey]

Its a Plymouth P12 Special Deluxe. It has the stock inline 6 but they also provide a V8 for a modded version. Does anyone know which motor this is suppose to be? I want to look up reference photos.

An LA-block Chrysler, according to Tim Boyd, who helped put the concept together for AMT originally in the 1970s.

Thank you so much. Now I know which direction to start heading in.

Also I forgot to ask is it a 318, 340 or 360? 

And does anyone know if there are any engine detail kits available for this engine? 

I mostly stick to stock but for this one I want to completely build up the motor.  

would this work? http://www.hobbylinc.com/model-car-garage-2-carb-intake-manifold-w:separate-risers-plastic-model-accessory-kit-1:24-1:25-scale-1009

I also assume i could use http://www.hobbylinc.com/model-car-garage-holley-dominator-carburetors-2-metal-cast-plastic-model-accessory-1:24-1:25-scale-901 and  http://www.hobbylinc.com/detail-master-carburetor-linkage-hardware-plastic-model-vehicle-accessory-kit-1:24-1:25-scale-2420  with it. 

I may just stick one 4 barrel on top with an air cleaner. as long as the hood clears.  I basically want the thing to be a sleeper. Looks stock but is fast, if  it were a real car.

Whatever you want it to be, they're the same externally.

This intake is for a Flathead V8 Ford.

The carburetor would physically work, though it would not be correct to stock, and is much more carburetor that what the stock engine would ever need. A Carter AFB would be more accurate to stock.

The carb linkage kit is universal, it will be perfectly fine.

I was told it was supposed to be a 340.   I love the flathead six in this kit.  If you have no use for it, I'd be happy to trade you one of those V8s for your flatty!

Here is my spin.....inspired by the film 'Cool hand Luke'.......

But where's the girl?

Still washing that blue Desoto...the paint's getting thin and she got fat!   

ps. that car's a year younger than she is...

Thanks, I am not worried about stock. This build will be something different. So using that would be ok as its suppose to be a upgraded motor.

everyone thank you for your replies.
