Bill J Posted June 12, 2022 Posted June 12, 2022 Wood Brother's 1968 Daytona 600 winner. Resin 68 "W" nose body, Polar Lights chassis. Two 4-barrel manifold from 60 Ford Starliner kit, carbs by Fireball Modelworks. This engine block was a 3D printed piece and is a little taller than the PL 427 engine, which causes a bit of interference with the hood! Always something! 1
Pierre Rivard Posted June 12, 2022 Posted June 12, 2022 Looks like you are working through a lot of the Wood Brothers decal sheet! I like the W nose Cyclone the best and your interpretation of it is superb.
TooOld Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Excellent job Bill , one of my all time favorite cars !
james220 Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Bill great work on that. I'm wanting to do that car but finding a 2x4 manifold isn't the easiest of things. What manifold did you use.

I had the whole thing together I noticed the carbs interfered with the hood. I popped the manifild off and used the 2x4 manifild from the AMT 60 Starliner custom kit. The manifold is only in the "custom" Starliner kit.

NASCAR allowed the Fords to run 2 four barrel carbs in 1967 and 1968. In 1969 they went back to a single carb, which is when the Holley Dominator carb came along and the Boss 429 engines. The Daytona winner in 1969 was a Ford with a 427 and a single four barrel. The Boss 429 was not allowed until the 69 Atlnata race.
Bainford Posted July 14, 2022 Posted July 14, 2022 Very nice build of one of my favourite Woods Bros rides. Well done.
