Thanks for the tip

The AMT 1949 Ford kit also contains a pretty respectable version of the old Cadillac engine.  It was patterned after the 365cu.in.  "tri-power" engine (which is externally identical to the 390)  with a standard transmission attached, the earlier versions have some really nice "stock/script" valve covers that have the CADILLAC name spelled out in block script.  The intake 'could' be "converted" back to a 'single-four barrel' intake, then all would take to complete would be the air cleaner.......   (A good friend cast me SEVERAL sets of those style valve covers, so if you find one of the engines with the custom valve covers, and need 'stock' ones, give a hollar.

I may have an extra Monogram Cadillac engine. I’ll check later tonight
