Brain Fade-Parts Swapping

[stavanzer]

I want to install a Blower on the AMT Packrat/Twister Drag Car.

I am having a senior moment, and cannot think of any kit I can rob the Blower parts from , other than the AMT '63 Vette, which has an Okay, but not Great blower.

Is there another kit I could Rob These Parts from?. I have several kits in my stash still, but my memory is drawing a blank. The AMT '70 Chevy Fire Chief has a Big Block but no blower. What am I overlooking?

Thanks, Alan

The engine in the Nova is on the small side for a big-block, so you might consider swapping the whole engine.  The AMT '69 Chevelle has a big-block with a supercharger option.

Thanks, Mark for Joggling my memory. The Engine does look small, now that you mention it.

That Chevelle, That's what I wanted. Now to see If I sold that kit or not........

The AMT '69 Chevelle has a fuel injection intake. The AMT '68 El Camino Street Machine version has a supercharger with modern fuel injection that fits under the hood.

The '69 Chevelle has the Blower I want.

That's weird. The one I have doesn't have a blower or mention it in the instructions. The one I built didn't have a blower either.

AMT '37 Chevy has a blown BBC, so-so quality. The Revell '68 Vette Roadster has a really nice one. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

This is the one in the 1/24th scale Revell/Monogram ‘39 chevy.

The early reissues of the '69 Chevelle didn't have the blower, or a stock version for the engine.

The B/B in the '37 is not bad, except for the lousy Blower Hat, and that can be swapped out. Thanks, I've a about four of those kits. I sold my Revell '68 Vette, sadly.
