Crower 8 port Injector and Scoop

[afxawb2]

  Anyone know of accurate 1/25 or 1/24 scale Crower 8 port fuel injector and scoop that common in the 70s? can be resin or 3dprinted. Thank everyone.

Not able to help, beyond saying I'd never heard of one of these before, so I looked it up. Found this 2015 BangShift page  https://bangshift.com/bangshift1320/magnificent-magnesium-this-old-school-magnesium-crower-injector-and-scoop-is-killer-and-expensive/ about a $3 grand one on eBay at the time. Could be my composite photo out of the article might trigger somebody saying they'd seen a scale version somewhere, but might not have known what the name of it was ...

Thank you for your info. however, Comp Resin and Calgary Resin have made these for years.

Calnaga Castings does a great version as well.

Are the cast items the wrong type, or not accurate enough?

Looking for more detailed if possible-I have been using Comp Resin and Calnaga  for years-just figured with 3dprinting someone might have more detailed. Shapeways offered one but I did not purchase and now they are out of business. Thank you for your time

The 1/16 scale Revell Crower 8-port injector has more detail with some of the linkage, but it's 1/16, not 1/25.  It might be a good guide to fabricate some of the parts. There may be a photoetch sheet with some of the linkage parts.

The AMT Wynn's Charger has a pretty nice hat, but mid-'70s Revell kits (I don't recall which, off the top of my head, maybe one of the Garlits cars) have the better injector. I put this setup together using those parts. The injector is an old dental resin (now available as nail resin) casting done back in the '80s.

Some of the old pre-80's Revell Top Fuel dragster and Funny Car kits had the Crower 8 port injection

Here is one on eBay. Pricey and the seller says to expect to wait a few weeks. No idea if the part is nice or not.

That one looks pretty decent.

It looks like the bug catcher in MPC's 1967 Corvette Stingray (recently reissued in the "Streaker Vette"-version) might provide a suitable scoop if you want to build the injector base from scratch.
