Need an Idea for a Donor kit Empty Need an Idea for a Donor kit

Post by Sam Wed 01 Jan 2014, 10:25 pm

On my 1975 Nova that i am building, the kit leaves a lot to be desired. I am looking for an idea for a donor kit that would have a small block chevy/automatic combo and better chassis detail. Any ideas?


TIA

What about the Revell '68 or '69 Nova SS? Not the Yenco one- its a BBC. The SS has a good SBC, but its an 4 speed. Good chassis too.

Plan B. Revell '69 Camaro Z-28. SBC, again 4 speed & good chassis.

All I can come up with, others will have alternatives.

Cheers,

Chris

When I built my son's truck I looked for ever to find a small block chevy and a turbo 350 trans. I never did find that setup in any kit or my junk yard.I did find a small block with a powerglide and used it. I have no idea what kit it came from it was in the junk yard. Finding a small block chevy with a 4 speed was easy. I bought a turbo 350 transmission from the after market but it looked nothing like one and was to big. I don't remember who made it. I got it from Model Express when they were open. I am thinking use a small block with a 4 speed you can only be just so accurate with the reproductions in scale.
