Rod Shop Anglia

[John Pol]

Does anybody know who casts this intake for the rod shop Anglia? And does anybody have detail shoots of this car.

Never mind...nothing I found is right. What engine is in the Rod Shop Anglia as you're building it?

But here's a shot of the engine bay showing different Enderle-style injectors instead of Hilborn, and a polished firewall...

Ya this look slanted alittle the stacks I know they do the value covers I need for this.

Yes, I changed the post and added a photo of a different style injector in one version of the real car. The flanges on top of the cast aluminum injector bodies are thick, like the Enderle injectors. Your first photo looks like Hilborn style.

What engine is in the real car as you're building it? That will determine which injector port-spacing you'll need.

A small chevy George Reese owns the car now and send me photos of the motor and interior and chassic when it first raced. Its a Hilborn injection that's what he says in the letter I got from him

If it's Hilborn, the injection manifolds for the Olds in the Anglia kit should look pretty close to smallblock Chevy port spacing....unless he ran a one-piece manifold with an integral finned valley cover.

This is the one-piece, which looks like your first photo, and Speed City's doesn't look quite right.

Ross Gibson has the right style manifold, but without fins on the valley cover, and the details look a little soft.

Maybe the intake that was in the 55 Nomad kit would be close. It is a well detail intake the stacks mit be high but they can be cut down some.

I just looked in the Nomad kit I have on the shelf...bought open...and no injection manifold. Sorry. I also looked in some other kits and the AMT double dragster kit has smallblock Chevy / Hilborn-style manifolds, but though they're illustrated as having fins in the valley cover area, the ones on the tree have no fins, and are soft on detail. Another strike.

There's a pic of this one on a Dennis Lacy build at http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=66362

AMT's "Grant King" modified has an an injected smallblock Chevy too, but again, soft details and no valley fins.

Monogram's "Super Modified" that comes in the Racing Classics combo kit (and others) has a little Chevy Hilborn FI manifold with fins in the valley and readable "Hilborn" in the right places. Unfortunately, it also has a molded (but easily removable) magneto, and the injector body detail is soft. BUT, it has the fuel block in the right place too, and with a little work and real aluminum stacks, it could look very good.

Well I found a white body Angila from Scale Chris Resin but for body alone alittle pricey at 40 bucks. Ya I had those kits in the pass but not now.

I have an AMT 1955 Nomad kit, and the injected intake manifold and tubes are in it if you need it . I have other plans for the kit

I can post pics later if needed.

FYI, the tubes come straight up , not angled like in the 1st picture posted

The injection manifold in the AMT '55 Nomad is about the best in 1/25. It's also in the '55 Chevy Sedan street machine kit (with the ugly pink car for box art). I'm not sure if it's in the stock version of the sedan?

Nobody makes angled stacks like that, AFAIK, so you'll have to make those yourself.

i belive thats the crower fuel injection but i don't know if anybody makes in 1/25

If you look closely at how the stacks attach to the injector bodies in the first post and in post 6, you'll see they are the same...Hilborn. Crower and Enderle attach differently, and the injector bodies are different. The identifying factor in FI systems is the cast-aluminum bodies themselves. Any number of variations of stacks is possible, and aren't really a good indication of manufacturer.
