What engine is that?

Here's what the 665@213 posted above regarding the engine:

The engine and transmission are from the Foose Cadillac kit, the intake from the AMT 57 Chevy street machine kit, and an air cleaner from an AMT 68 GT500 thats been shortened and smoothed.

Okay, thanks

That is the engine from the Foose Cadillac. The intake is from the AMT 57 Chevy street machine. And the headers are from the Revell 67 Chevelle Pro Street.

I spoke with Steve on the phone a while back. He's an extremely talented individual with a myriad of interests including being a bass player, adult drum and bugle corp member and still scratch builds amazing models. When we spoke he told me he was scratch building a radial aircraft engine for one project he has on his bench. Steve is also a Vietnam veteran.

I remember this one, was in a couple of Swedish magazines back then too. Hard to forget such a build, it will be interesting to see your interpretation in scale.

  Can you please post some pics of the chassis?Where did the wheels come from?

Does anyone know if the back of the Cheez Wiz 55's hood is straight or curved?  There are 2 tabs that attach to the hinges but the rest of the rear looks like it's straight up against the cowl.
