Anybody have such an engine?  What's a good kit to find such an engine?  I am putting a NASCAR chassis, 1/24, under a '69 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1/25.  (I wrote about this some time ago.  I think I am going to need to buy a kit off of 'ebay'.)  Did Ross Gibson ever make one of these?  I think  his engines were more like 1/23 scale, but I would try one.  Thanks.

I don't remember ever seeing anyone making a correct hemi Nascar intake manifold

You would be correct! 

   All though not accurate...the early '70s MPC NASCAR Mopars had as close as similar to the A117 manifold.

LOL, they got the valve covers on the wrong side. vents go to the front and oil cap on wrong side. Wrong carb too. But a nice-looking engine.

Sure!

   Outta curiosity... I opened this kit to see "what" it offered for induction & motor.

  This looks to be very viable & readily available source for build project.

Competition Resin has a cross ram that could be easily modified to look like the Edelbrock intake they used. Cheaper than a kit.
