Mattsteel85 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) well this will b my first vette to add to my collection! Plan to go completely stock and paint it silver with Red interior. Here's a few shots of the motor! Used some scrap styrene and made up some additional parts for the fuel injection setup since it looked pretty! Added the throttle body, some oil/fuel lines and some other small accessories Edited March 28, 2016 by Mattsteel85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Before you get too far, the top of the plenum should be turned around, the slope should be towards the front of the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Your added details really make this engine standout. I'm with Hakan, I think the top of the plenum is 180 out. Look forward to seeing the rest of your build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizard Racing Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I've built a ton of '63s since '63, but they didn't look as good as this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTJUNIOR Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 One of my favourite cars of all time. Personally not crazy about the silver colour on the body but can't fault the quality of the paint job. Very nice work being done here. Can't wait to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
