B/FX would be the small block, the 289. This car still exists, it was restored years ago.

This is really great news.  The changes vs. the A/FX kit are more extensive than you might imagine.  Moebius sent me a test shot a number of years ago that included a number of the B/FX parts and I was surprised at the differences. 

I'm sure Erik and the Moebius team will reveal the details appropriate, as they may (or probably) have changed or evolved to a vs. the original test shot status I observed.     

Yeah!   TB

There are a bunch or accurate drag racing kits now, thanks to Moebius !

A missing link for years, the 65 Dodge and Plymouth kits have really filled a void.

Along with the Atlantis kits things are looking good!

Glad to see these by a plastic manufacturer instead of sometimes iffy and pricey aftermarket vendors.

Vendors can focus on other parts! SORRY, this is my feeling! After YEARS of buying I now ( in the last year) have been outright cheated three times! Sorry modeling has come to this after so many years of honesty>
THANKS to the above companies!

I noticed this kit is now available at a number of dealers. If anyone out there has already grabbed one (or has seen a review posted), I would love to see photo(s) of the available engine part runners (is a 289 with the webers included or is it just the 427 cammer from the A/FX kit?).

Box art just grabbed me, and it followed me home!

Looking forward to an A-B comparison with the AFX. Resisting the urge to blow up my Craftsman '64 and make a monument to overcomplicateditis.

If the box art is accurate, looks like this one has a different grille without the extra trim piece that was in the factory stock '65 version.  I didn't buy the AF/X versions, but from pictures I've seen online, I think those also had the same grille with the added trim.  So this may be the first time this grille has been offered by Moebius?

Looking at pictures of 1:1's online, that grille trim seems to be hit or miss.  But I think it may have been standard only on Cyclones.  But I also see quite few pictures of Cyclones without it, so I'm guessing it's easily removed in 1:1.  Maybe someone more familiar with these cars can chime in.

My recollection of the test shot I received from Moebius back in the mid 2010s was that there were more changes than just the engine between the B/FX vs. A/FX kits. Well worth a complete A vs. B comparison when you guys actually get the final production version...TB

Mid 2010s? That is a long time aborning. Glad we are seeing the fruits of their labors now.

Hah... when I stop to think, "gee that happened in the 80's, so it was pretty recent" and realize it was 45 years ago.
