Tony Nancy 22JR Dragster/Roadster Engine Replacements

[Evil Appetite]

I just started building these kits, and noticed an issue with both engines. Does anyone know where I can get  aftermarket engine replacements for these 2 kits?

What's the "issue" with each? It wouldn't help for other to make suggestions if they suffer from the same (or worse) issues.

The early Buick V8 in AMT's '66 Riviera is decent, but has some problems, too, I recently discovered.

The Chrysler 426 RB-seies V8 engine shouldn't be too difficult to replace, though.

What problems have you found? I’ve picked up a couple of these kits over the years just for the engine, but haven’t built one yet.

Same here, but I recently starting working on one and saw something which was not quite right, detailed here:

The issue with the engines is the mating edge on part 2 is narrower at the front than it is at the rear. I'd rather replace it than work it and make it fit.
