What transmission is attached to the Nailhead engine in Revells 29 Roadster kit ?

Thanks

It's a 700 R4. Here's a photo.

Isn't that a 39 ?

Yeah. But, the engine and transmission are from the Revell '29 Roadster.

Is that even possible in 1:1? I can't think of any 700R4s with a BOP bellhousing pattern. Maybe Revell used a J.C. Whitney adaptor.

Thanks for the info . I don't think it would work for an era correct 60"s build (JK)

With a little ingenious machine work, you can mate any gearbox to any engine, even if there's no commercial adapter available.
