geordie Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 I'm building a 1/16 426 Hemi for a project and would like to replace the kit blower with a carburetor and air cleaner set up. Does anyone know if this is available in resin?
Mike Kucaba Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Might be in the recent re-issue of the Dodge charger general Lee?
Casey Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 I think the GL '69 and the Street Charger both have a "Rat Roaster" intake manifold, which may or may not work for you. It's probably less "streetable" than the forced induction setup, but the carb is decent, so you could at least use that. There's an air cleaner in the 1/16 Revell '34 Ford Phaeton kit, but it's only 10" or so in diameter, and has a billet style lid, which isn't too hard to modify.
Bonekrosha Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 The Holley in the kits are the NASCAR-type dominators, very nice carbs. As fas as intakes, you're really limited. I made one of the GL Rat Roasters into a cross ram and cut another up to make an Indy-style inline four barrel x 2. I'm in the process of making a Tunnel Ram. I haven't found any "regular" intakes so you are more than likely going to have to make your own, if you do find some or make some, lemmee know!
