I won this kit at the NSRA Nats in Tampa last weekend. Heavy butchery has already been initiated.

(See that 29 RPU fender assy?)

I may be able to keep this TRaKable, but I want to use the engine that came with it.
It's a BIG blown Ford with twin cams in the heads.
Legal?
There will be no hood to hide it, but I may still have my paper sack.

I thought I read somewhere that it was a 5 hundred c.i. engine. But I can't find it printed anywhere in the instructions or on the box.

Nope, that's a Ford 427 SOHC "Cammer" engine - indeed an unusual engine in a rod, but throughout '66 and '67 it powered the "World's fastest Willys" to numerous victories in the AA/GS ranks (This kit actually started as a replica of Ohio George's Willys - Only thing canged to this date is the tires...)

krassandbernie: I've posted some really cool stuff here on this board recently with little response......this place is on life support! Nov 4, 2024 20:17:16 GMT -5

Mr409: Posting has been a bit slow here lately. It's a shame, in my opinion this is the best modeling site around. I, myself, have one barely un-TRaKable project going on at the moment, once that's done I'll get back to work on some of my TRaKable projects... Nov 6, 2024 12:54:58 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: with facebook and instagram, it amazed me how many people stopped paying for storage and so many great memories are lost. i will not do that. Nov 17, 2024 13:31:07 GMT -5

Mr409: My Fotki is since 14 years. It indeed is a bummer how many pics are gone from old threads. I will also try to keep mine up there, but I also don't have any desire to go to FB or Instagram either.

Nov 17, 2024 17:50:56 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: facebook has it's ups, but i really like to share here when i am building. it matters to me what is said here more than anywhere else. Nov 17, 2024 22:07:19 GMT -5
