• Any kits come with a supercharged small block Ford? *PIC*
  • I think the Revell Super Stallion has one. I don't have the kit, so I'm not too sure . The Revell Mach III has a supercharged 4.6 *NM*
  • Marc, no pic..but the AMT George Barris Surf Woody has a small block Ford witha pair of McCullough/Paxton(?) blowers feeding twin 4 barrel Holleys on a crossram intake, Ansen brand finned valve covers & a finned Cobra sump, George Barris never did any overkill...lol. *NM*
    • Carroll Shelby went Barris one better...two of those superchargers on a 427 Cobra. He only sold two of them *NM*
      • The famous "Bill Cosby at 200 MPH" album... *NM*
        • Jim Webb (song writer) had the other one. Cosby didn't have his very long, a later owner totaled it (and himself along with it) *NM*
          • Funny you mention that: Webb came to our agency in the 90's for an afternoon and talked about the Cobra
            • Strange that both buyers weren't really experienced in driving HP cars. Maybe the more experienced guys knew better? *NM*
              • A vendor to GM Performance had a side hustle powering the Factory Five and ERA Replicas...
                • MMTB syndrome (More Money Than Brains). *NM*
                  • One person in a thousand has the money; one in 10,000 has the skill *NM*

    • Picture of AMT kit Barris Surf Woody engine per Andy's post above...TB;y *NM* *PIC*
      • Tim.....thanks for the pic...btw I assume thats your build?....either way its made me rethink the kit as the engine looks much better than on the box......more decisions....thanks. *NM*
        • Andy...yes my model. Won Best of Show at the 1978 Detroit Autorama MPC Contest and went on to finish third nationwide at the MPC finals....TB *NM*
          • So wheres a better or whole pic of it ......a mate gave the kit to me as he didn't think much of it......but after looking at the origin of the 1:1 car it may move up the pecking order......lol. *NM*
            • more pix of that model if that is what you are after.... *LINK* *PIC*
  • Superstars was based on the Mach I concept, which used the chassis and engine now in the AMT '66 Mustang GT fastback. The supercharger belt is in that kit, one or two other parts might be in there also...
