This engine is both diecast and some plastic construction, and it is highly from the paint scheme ro the timing cover housing the overhead cams. Plenty of chrome and take your time assembling this kit and you will have a real piece of mechanical art work. Turn the fly wheel and the fan, alternator and all turns. one of the must get kits…Engineman

I have been a shop floor Quality Control Inspector for nearly thirty years, and I can tell you from a Quality standpoint this model kit is absolutely top notch. There is almost NO flash on the pieces, and having been a modeler for years it is very refreshing to see the quality of the molded parts in this kit. It comes very carefully packaged with the bottom end partially assembled. Naturally there are no internal workings, but the external detail is totally unsurpassed. Absolute attention to even the finest details. You actually have to build the carburetors, assemble the primary and secondary bowls, the baseplate, the external vacuum secondary (looks like a pair of 750 double pumpers w/ vac secondary linkage, factory only). You can even see the venturi in the carbs! Unbelievable!! And you have to assemble the carb linkage just like the real thing! The air filter housing and the oil filter are also unbelievably detailed.
What a fun project this was, and I am *TOTALLY* satisfied way down in that warm fuzzy spot that breathes fire and remembers the sound of thunder from those open headers on a Ford big block.
