'70 Grande Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) I am gathering parts for a 1/25 '69 Ford Torino Drag Car build, and I'm curious which 1/24 or 1/25 kits had the best representation of the April 1968-released, Factory-stock 1:1 Ford 428 Cobra Jet engine. Below, I've listed a small number of kits that came with this motor, but am curious which kit out there might be the most-accurate representation. 1/25 Revell 1969 Ford Mustang Super CJ, (soon to be reissued) 1/25 AMT 1968 Shelby Mustang GT-500 1/25 AMT 1969 Ford Torino, (or Talladega Torino) 1/24 Monogram 1969 Ford Talladega Torino 1/24 Monogram 1969 Shelby Mustang GT-500, (or convertible) Are there any other kits that have this engine that might be even better/more-accurate? Looking for opinions... thanks! Edited April 26, 2018 by '70 Grande
Fat Brian Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I think your best bet is the Shelby kits, that engine is great and those kits are very easy to find.
vamach1 Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I would say the 69 Shelby. SAE did some articles on all Ford V8s.
'70 Grande Posted April 27, 2018 Author Posted April 27, 2018 I assume you gentlemen are referring to the Monogram '69 Shelby kits, correct?

Mark Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 MPC '69-'73 Mercury Cougar kits have a 428 CJ, also the AMT/Ertl '69 Cougar. This is a different kit from the MPC '69 but the engine in it is the one from the MPC kit.
afx Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 Yea Tim Boyd's article picks the MPC '73 Cougar and AMT '69 Cougar 428CJ as the two best.
