• Non Mopar guy with a Dodge question. Building a 69 Dodge Super Bee for a friend. Will the Revell 440 6 pack pass for a 383 six pack? *NM*
  • Maybe I have my plug wires crossed. He said it was originally a 383 magnum, but it had a big oval air cleaner. I'm probably misunderstanding something. *NM*
    • 383 never came with a Six-Pack option. But it could have the same oval aircleaner as a 440 Six-Pack, if the 383 also had the Ramcharger ram-air induction system. The 440 Superbee had its own large single scoop on a lift-off fiberglass hood. *NM*
      • I seem to remember the Direct Connection catalog offering a B-engine Six Pack manifold back in the day, so a 383 Six Pack would be possible…
        • The low deckk solution. But - one honkin' TQ on it would look factory as an exposed phillips screw. But another question
          • Can't think of any Ragtop. Maybe after all the good h.p. motors were gone, like mid-70s and newer? *NM*
  • Short answer: yes…
    • Also…
      • Thanks guys! I may have figured it out. I've attached sine pics. I think it's a huge air cleaner on a 4bbl. 2 hood scoops. Can anyone tell me what these wheels are called and where I might source them? Feel free to correct my engine info. Thank you
        • American "Torq-Thrust II" wheels. They are al over the place in the real world and model world. That Super Bee has the 383 with the Ramcharger system scoops/airceaner. There is also a lot of underhood ducting. *PIC*
          • Oh wow! Good info...thanks Bill *NM*
            • I think a couple Revell kits had nice Torq-Thrust IIs that were not too oversize in them. The Alternomad Caprice, and others. But check the wheel diameter and tire sizes... they may not be what you want. *NM* *PIC*
              • The revell 32 ford kits, Roadster, 3W & 5W Coupes, Tudor & Finks Speedwagon all have those wheels. *NM*
                • Those are the Torque-Thrust "D", an earlier style. The TTIIs are all polished and have a thinner rim (hoop) and more curvature to the spokes *NM*
