fiatboy Posted October 1 Posted October 1 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.

dwc43 Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Competition Resin has a cross ram that could be easily modified to look like the Edelbrock intake they used. Cheaper than a kit.
fiatboy Posted October 5 Author Posted October 5 If I get the whole kit, I'll probably use all the ancillary pieces, like the dry sump oiling system, etc.
