Ford Pro Stock or Pro Street Kits?

[PHPaul]

I have a '64 Galaxie body (from the Cal Drag combo kit) that I want to use as the basis for a Pro Street model.

Unfortunately, the tow car is a curbside and the only really usable part is the body.  I intend to build a tubular frame but I'm going to need a suitable engine/trans/rear end and ideally some suspension bits.

Can anyone recommend a 1:25 kit that I could swipe parts from?

I'd look at the Round2/AMT '69 Galaxie and the '67 Mustang AWB/Street Freak.

Both have Big (427?) engines, and some nice wheels. The May not be ProStock but could be a good parts source.

The Revell Lincoln LSC that was recently released would be a good candidate. It should have everything you need to build a Pro Street, including street tires. The chassis will be a bit short and probably narrow, but the mechanical bits will likely be good.

The Lincoln looks interesting.  I'll see if I can find some detail pictures of the drivetrain.

I'd really like a dual quad tunnel ram intake.  I see lots of them with blowers or Hilborn-style injectors.

For an engine, I'd look at 3D print items...lots of choices out there.

Chassis...think about starting with a NASCAR truck chassis (wide enough for an older full-size car), cut away all of the floor, and swap in a tubbed rear section from the biggest Pro Street chassis out there, like the '70 Coronet or '67 Chevelle.  The NASCAR truck front end uses tubular A-arms and will be beefy enough to look right under a big car.
