• Is there a 1/24 vintage hemi (392?) with say, 3/2s available anywhere? Thanks. *NM*
  • Re: Is there a 1/24 vintage hemi (392?) with say, 3/2s available anywhere? Thanks.
    • But is it 1/24? *NM*
      • The only 1/24 scale hemi I can think of is the old Monogram Long John dragster. My memory says it's a hemi but I can't remember what induction system it has. *NM*
        • Thanks Dave, that'll probably do. I think I can cobble up the 3 2s. *NM*
          • The only three-twos setup I can recall was in the early issue AMT Deuce roadster kits. But that one had the cylinder heads and intake all molded as one unit *NM*
      • Re: But is it 1/24? My bad, should have read more carefully *NM*
  • Could you adapt the engine from the Lil Coffin? Just a thought. *NM*
    • That one has six twos. Best bet here might be to rework a stock intake, or an aftermarket two-fours one *NM*
      • I knew it had 6 carbs. If it's like most of my projects. Improvisation is the key word. *NM*
  • Scale was an approximation backinnaday...
    • It's going in Monogram's ancient '31 Ford Coupe. *NM*
      • Jim.....check your emails, I've built that old Mono kit with the AMT DeSoto hemi from the 53 F100, also extra wheels from the Mono 30 Woody, sent some pics, it looks o/k in my eyes.....lol. *NM*
        • Cool....that'll do! thanks so much. *NM*
        • Here is a pic of the Model A Andy built with a hemi in it. Looks OK to me. *NM* *PIC*
          • Thanks Jim....biggest issue was trying to work out how to attach the roof but allow a modified interior to be built & the plastic polished up o/k too with Tamiya polish. *NM*
            • I might be using the stock interior. It has been awhile since I hsve seen the car I am replicating, so I'm not sure. Gotta take pics next time I see it. *NM*
