Big John Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Cool! I didn't know that Aurora had parts packs. They look like 70's era sets, what with the Doug Nash tranny and multi disc clutches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The 427 Ford is 1/25th scale, same as parts packs. the other two, the Aurora Racing Sceans are 1/16th scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CabDriver Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 With the timber prices as they are now, that car's probably worth Veyron money ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distantly related to the infamous Rolls Canardly, no doubt. Rolls down one hill, canardly make it up the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenmojr Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Both GM and Ford are selling electric crate motors. I wonder how they will go over with the hot rod and classic car crowd. I think it will be a cold day in August before I replace the 327 in my 60 Vette with some electric contraption. https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-9000-MACHE https://www.chevrolet.com/performance-parts/electrification Webb Motorworks in British Columbia are converting classic cars and hot rods to electric. https://www.webbmotorworks.com/ I do not like the direction the future of hot rodding is going, but it is better than having it die off.

oldcarfan Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 This thread was a while back, but in the current day of 3D printed engines, we have a raft of options. HOwever, if you are buying a kit to part out the engine, then one of the first answers is probably the best. '5.0 in the Revell 32 Fords as a "crate motor". Also the SBC with Tremec in the Rat Roaster'. Both of those engines represents what you would have bought from a crate motor supplier 10-20 years ago. As for today, Texas3D and Iceman Collections among others provide some really nice options. I just ordered a twin turbo Boss 5.0 to go with my Cannonball entry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I've been stealing engines from NASCAR kits for a long time now. They look good in almost anything. A guy in my club does slot cars and sells parts he doesn't use. I grab up any 427 Chevy I see, also 409 Chevies and 427 Fords. The ones in the '65 & '66 Ford kits are nice.
