If you purchased a Revell '70 'cuda kit you know that it can only be built as a Hemi car, but if you have a decent stash of Mopar parts you can change it up a bit.

A 383 car would have an 8.75" differential. I used one from an AMT '71 Charger. It only needed a bit of narrowing. The exhaust pipes were easily modified by splicing in the head pipes from the parts box.

I used the Hemi block but mounted the wedge heads, intake, and exhaust manifolds from the parts box.

Although the kit's Rallye wheels would have been correct for 1970, wanted to use the 14" Magnum 500 style wheels.

The " B5" blue paint is actually a G.M. color Nassau Blue Metallic but it looks close to me!

Gorgeous!

Very well done, the first 383 'Cuda Conversion from the new tool i see, a variant from the 426 Hemi is cool too!

Very cleanly buit!

Red spark plug wire held in place with Future and sprayed with Dull Coat. Hope it stays in place!

Sooo nice!

Love the wood grain steering wheel!

I just finished a '74 Barracuda and wanted to use the road wheels but only had three in the parts bin... they look awesome on E bodies.

Very nice and clean build, Walter!

I personally like the look of the drive-shaft: That's a very realistic look!

Thanks! It's liquid rust. Just brush it on. Used it on the master cylinder and exhaust manifolds too.
