Greg Myers Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Two comments, ok, three. 1) thanks for the information everyone.I was reading yesterday how great the board was because you can always learn something,and I was thinking, "Yeah, like what?" 2) Don't you think this would make a great "Parts Pack" ? Engines, engine stand, A frame,jack and a trailer? 3) Now what am I going to do with all those engines? I got a baggy (hey, great idea for storing spare parts) full of those engines from someone.

mountaindewd Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Now you know........, the rest of the story. Sorry to interrupt. Just couldn't help but hear his voice as I read those words. I miss that voice!
Chuck Most Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I believe the engine still exists... it's the one used in the Boss Nova drag wagon. I think AMT retooled this Buick into the Nova, then turned the Nova into the Boss Nova drag version. I can't confirm this, but that's what I've heard.
highway Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Curious that AMT would include a Chrysler display engine in models of GM vehicles! Even though it wasn't a display engine, isn't a Chrysler included in the old 49 Merc kit, too? If I remember, isn't there an optional DeSoto Firedome in the 53 Ford truck?

If I remember, isn't there an optional DeSoto Firedome in the 53 Ford truck? Matt there's a 426 Max Wedge in the '49 Merc, a DeSoto Firedome in the '53 F100 and a 409 in the '57 Bel Air old tool.

Greg Myers Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Back in the day, a lot of people were putting 348's in tri-fives.
Keef Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I believe the engine still exists... it's the one used in the Boss Nova drag wagon. I think AMT retooled this Buick into the Nova, then turned the Nova into the Boss Nova drag version. I can't confirm this, but that's what I've heard. There is however, more to the history of that kit & that engine. For 1963, AMT retooled it in to a Chevy Nova wagon kit, keeping that same Hemi as a display engine, as seen at these two links: http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/instruction_sheetsh/instruction_sheets/amt/amt-63-chevy-ii-sta/ http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/instruction_sheetsh/instruction_sheets/amt/amt-63-chevy-ii-sta/0874320011.html Circa 1969/1970, AMT dug that old tooling out & modified it again, this time into the "Boss Nova" wheelstander, which had the Hemi mounted in a custom chassis behind the driver. That can be seen here: http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/instruction_sheetsh/instruction_sheets/amt-5/amt-boss-nova-model/ The Model King had AMT do a limited run reissue of the "Boss Nova" about 4-6 years ago. Now you know........, the rest of the story.
