The kit has one - were they making it up? *NM*

Nope, nope, nope. Small-block Chevy, later a big-block. Olds engines weren't allowed in those cars under the rules at that time *NM*

Drag Race Engine Question. Olds 394-Revell Thames Panel
I built mine from thr box, sounds like it may be time to mock something to see what you can make work..Keep us posted *NM*
The Revell Cadillac Parts Pack engine would have a multi-carb intake option
You could put another engine (parts pack SBC, maybe?) in front of the Hydramatic. Nobody ran an Olds powered Anglia back in the day anyway *NM*
Skippers Critter had an Olds and a Hydro *NM*

The whole chassis under those kits is fiction, nothing like the 1:1...
And there you have... the REST of the story. Had no idea that was the case but good to know regardless
This does not help with your questions but this is how I built mine....pics....
That engine is the same as the one in the Revell Anglia.....
The Revell kit had the Critter decals, but everything else was fictional. The 1:1 never had an Olds engine...
And he ran a 4 sp with the small block, then switched to the Hydro with the big block. *NM*
Some guy on Facebook is saying the same thing: *LINK*
Yup, I was dead wrong in what I said, it was a small block then a big block later on. You are right about the small blocks in Anglias/Thames too.
Thames panel was just a second version; engine, plated tree, etc are straight from the Anglia *NM*
Mark, thanks for your generous reply to my question!
For those interested in the 1:1 Critter, it's featured in the February 1966 issue of Rod & Custom. I thought I had that issue but didn't, just bought one this morning *NM*
Thanks to everybody who took the time to answer my question. The depth of knowledge on this board is huge. My plan now is to swap in a Revell 283, and top it with an F.I manifold.
