Blown Small Block Chevy

[DON-T2]

What kit contains the best small block blown ( top mount ) Chevy motor ? 1/24 - 1/25 scale.

A lot depends on the era you're trying to model. I think by far the best smallblock Chevy is in the old vintage AMT parts packs. Though it's front-blown, the pack includes a top-mounted GMC 6-71 blower for a Pontiac with either carbs or Hilborn-style injection that can be readily adapted. A good upgrade to make it the 'best' would be aftermarket machined aluminum pulleys and a better belt.

Thanks Bill, I'm looking at the late 60's early 70's era. I already have the MCG belt and pully sets as well as other various parts just wondering if there is a good starting point out there from a kit.

I have over 400 kits but nothing has the blown small block. The double dragster kit has the front mount blower as well as the parts pack.

If you've got all that, the only thing you need is a smallblock Chevy blower manifold. It's a pretty easy scratchbuild, and hardly shows when complete. The blowers in the front-mount applications can be used on top of the engines, just with dofferent end-covers / drive / bearing housings, so just about any period GMC blower will work. 3-71, 4-71, 6-71, etc.
