Southern Fried Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Lookin' Good! A little info if I may...the early Caddy's used a siamesed center exhaust port for the center cylinders. The headers would look like a v-6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plastikjunkie2 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 thanks guys.. s.fried yeah i just noticed that as you pointed it out , i just wasn't feeling the headers in the revell parts pack for this engine. there actually from the tony navy dragster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadialDragon Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Just a tip for the caddy headers.. some pieces of .062 round rod (maybe .040 if you want a little smaller runners) and some of these.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Now that someone's already brought it up, and for future reference, the ONLY American V8 engine that has exhaust-port spacing like your first version is the "nailhead" Buick. The nailheads also have other immediately recognizable characteristics, so if you're going for engine accuracy, it pays to research. The "tony navy" dragster you mention (actually Tony Nancy, a very famous hot-rod upholsterer and drag racer) has a Buick nailhead engine, accounting for the unusual port spacing.
