Ace-Garageguy Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Though I don't have one yet, the 2013 Revell Mustang Boss 302 is said to have a good Coyote. Its 23 piece-count would tend to imply a well-detailed engine, and the IPMS review praises its appearance. Revell has had a couple of engine-scaling hiccups in the past few years though, (like the way too-large engine in the Dodge Magnum, the incorrect exhaust port spacing on the new '29 Ford / Buick nailhead engine, and the significantly too-long intake manifold on the new Starsky & Hutch Torino for example) so maybe someone else will chime in with more information.

jeffbrad Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Not so sure about the new stuff but if you're looking for old school sohc , the Ohio George Willys has a very good supercharged one and the AMT 67 Mustang has a decent carbed one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubbaBrown Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Calnaga castings has the sohc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampira Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 The 33 willys has the sohc on the box the car is yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) All the AMT 33 Willys has the same blown 427 SOHC and it's a good one.The MPC Mustang Gasser (Malco and other spinoffs) also has a decent blown 427 SOHC.The AMT 68 Shelby Mustang and 66 Galaxie has dual carb 427 SOHC engines wich are usable.There are more out there but I'll stop here.

futurattraction Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I know the Johan Maverick Pro Stocker has both Boss 429 and SOHC in it. The SOHC valve covers are very nice, as are the Dominator carbs. It seems to have a good amount of detail, but it's been ages since I built one of them. I can do more looking at home if you want more specifics. There is also a review of the Maverick and Comet pro stockers in the kit review category, from a few weeks ago.

gtx6970 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Thanks for all the leads fellas. I am leaning more towards a modern Coyote motor for this project.Although I havent completey ruled out a SOHC yet either. But ' IF ' I go that route,,,,,,It will be carberated / naturally asperted ( dont want anything poking thru the hood ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTRACING Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 for the old school motor, the polar lights nascar talladega kit has a really nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 The engine options in the Polar Lights Ford Talladegas and Mercury Cyclones are a FE 427 wedge and a Boss 429 "semi hemi", but no 427 SOHC as it wasn't allowed for NASCAR competition.
