this may seem odd

[shift13]

After all my life loving hot rods and muscle, I never thought of a 392 hemi coming with an intake other than a blower or hillbourn injection. But this jem was parked at my door step the other day and my first thought was ive gotta make a model of it

Seems to have a 25 ford front end and grill

392 hemi with single 4bbl cast intake

40ish ford cab

So I need directions to find

A 392 hemi single carb intake

And "Chrysler fire power" valve covers?

Is anyone making these?

Did any kit come with them?

That is a great idea for a build..

NICE! I like it!

COOL... They did make those valve covers in kit form...think it was from older vintage kits though?

the AMT Model A had those value covers

The AMT double dragster kit has those valve covers for a 392, I'm working on one of those engines right now, very cool. Someone probably makes a resin version of those valve covers, don't know for sure though. That would be a cool build, hope you pull it off.

Those valve covers are also in the old Monogram Boot Hill Express.

Any ideas on the intake?

No, that kit had the Dodge "Red Ram" engine left over from the first generation Ala Kart version of the kit.

BUT, the old AMT '32 Ford DOES have Firepower valve covers.

The Revell "Miss Deal" Studebaker funny car has chromed stock 392 Firepower covers too.

The old AMT engine parts-pack is another source.

There's an intake for 2 4-bbl carbs in the old AMT '32 Ford kit too. It could be modified fairly easily to be a single 4-bbl.
