I would like to duplicate the 1965 Plymouth Satellite from the beginning of the movie "Hot Rod". I've found a couple options so far:

-Use the Moebius 1965 Satellite (stock) kit, and add a Hemi engine from another kit.

-Use the Moebius "Golden Commandos" kit and swap hoods and other details with a stock Satellite.

I think the first option would be best, most likely by using the engine from the "Golden Commandos" kit. Unfortunately the movie doesn't show any clear shots of the engine in the configuration used in the Satellite, only later after it was swapped into a Willys and a blower added. From what little I can make out in the movie, I think the car used a single 4bbl carb, so I would have to swap intakes to get the correct setup, but (assuming) the two Satellite kits are nearly identical, the engine transplant should be super easy. 

Has anyone here done a duplicate of that car, or at least have some suggestions about the best way to get the combination I need?
