iheartkits Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'm interested in building an AAR 'Cuda with the newest release of the '70 Hemi Cuda. Is there a 1/25 340 or small block Mopar that would work with the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I think the AMT/Ertl Duster had a 340. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Irwin Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Theres your two choices, the AMT does have the 6 bbl. intake and carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The only downside to the AMT 340 (aside from its misnomer "Six Pack" decal for the air cleaner ; "Six Pack" is Dodge's nomenclature , whereas Plymouth was "Six Barrel") is the presence of the York RV-2 A/C compressor . No way would that compressor fit with those Holley 2300's on the 'real' engine ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I love that Duster kit... sucks it's out of production! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 the AMT does have the 6 bbl. intake and carbs. The non Pro Shop version has a single 4-bbl carb: I love that Duster kit... sucks it's out of production! I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing this kit again very soon in a fauxback box.

tim boyd Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The original issue stock AMT-Ertl Duster 340 kit had both a four barrel and a non-stock (for a factory Duster340) Six Barrel option. But if you want to do the Revell '70 'cuda as an AAR, you need the AMT-Ertl Duster 340 (for the 340 six barrel setup) AND the AMT-Ertl Duster Street Machine (for the non A/C fan belt in that kit). This will result in a very accurate engine. Don't have my photo research library and kit references in front of me right now, but if you need a new air clearer decal specific to the AAR, I would think one would be in the old (2nd try) Revell 1/24th scale 'Cuda AAR kit. For non- AAR '70 'cudas, the 340 Four Barrel Air Cleaner Decal WAS a generic "340 Four Barrel" graphic for both the 'cuda and Challenger that year but I can't recall for sure what was used on the six barrel. A quick google image search should tell all....TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartkits Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 I do have a Duster 340 with the "Six Pack" intake and decals. I do believe I also have the 1/24 AAR decal sheet as well. I will have to look through my stuff. I just didn't know if there was a better small block Mopar engine that would fit the new 'Cuda any better than the Duster engine. Thank you for all your input!
