Exotics_Builder Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 10 hours ago, Lorne said: Hey djflyer The engine is from Shapeways 3D Model Specialties 1/25 scale, and the linkage is assorted rods, nuts and bolts from R&B motion, the photoetch is from Detail masters. Correct me if I am wrong. I have a lot of ROn's excellent parts, but don't recollect or see the BBC Cross Ram in his catalog. I do see in TDR Innovations. Could the manifold be theirs?
Lorne Posted October 21, 2019 Author Posted October 21, 2019 Exotics_Builder! Your right, it is TDR innovations! Thank you I could not remember the name, I thought of Shapeways, could not remember TDR innovations. Great, great stuff! Thanks again, I will book mark that going forward!!
Lorne Posted November 3, 2019 Author Posted November 3, 2019 Progress on the Big Block. been a challenge but fun,...
mrm Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 I am so glad someone posted one of these engine builds on here. I was looking at these stuff, but was hesitant ordering, because of unknown (to me) quality.
Lorne Posted November 3, 2019 Author Posted November 3, 2019 MRM, the quality of this stuff is the best of the best in my opinion, well worth the price!!

gasser59 Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Man oh man is that engine ever gorgeous!! I just stumbled on this thread and am so glad I did. Following. What are your plans for installing this in? Maybe just an engine stand because its a model in itself.
Lorne Posted November 14, 2019 Author Posted November 14, 2019 hey gasser59 The engine will be going in a 37 ford, .....i think? or a 55 chevy step side? Not sure yet, gonna finish the big block soon!! working on the Muncie tranny next Thanks for the kind words!!
Lorne Posted November 23, 2019 Author Posted November 23, 2019 Update on BBC 572! need more time at the hobby table these days

Lorne Posted January 5, 2020 Author Posted January 5, 2020 Man!! finding time at the bench has been a challenge. Started the ignition wires in firing order of course. I have two sets of headers for the big block. One set, the spark plug boots fit nice, the other headers will require "a little modification" so will see which ones fit the best under the 37 Ford Coupe. Guess the Coupe will get the big block!!
Lorne Posted January 13, 2020 Author Posted January 13, 2020 Muncie tranny linkage done. throw-out bearing install will happen once the clutch linkage is lined up
larman Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Wow! almost a shame to put it in a car and cover it up!
Mattilacken Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Wow! Great jobb there!! loks amazingly real! looks like a good kit!
Lorne Posted January 18, 2020 Author Posted January 18, 2020 Update on the big block. Cylinder 7 and 8 need to fire. Ordered the Hurst shifter
