Over the past 6 months I've really developed an interest in building detailed and accurate model engines. I usually hang out on the diecast boards, but I figured model engines were more relevant in the model car section :lol:

Here are my latest two that I've finished...
Pontiac 421 Tri-Power:

Sweet mills - awesome work!!!

Those are cool! keep em coming!

That BOSS 429 is sweet.
are you willing to deal it away?
I'm in the middle of a 1/24 scale '70 Mach 1 that is being built as a '70's street machine, and I could sure use it.

(got a sweet built '67 GTO that the 421 would look mighty good in).

lets see if this pic works.....

Thank you, but I'm going to have to decline. If you want to find a Boss 429 engine, I don't mind making you one. I can take care of the wires/plumbing and headers. I will have a 1/25ish supercharged 421 that I would consider selling/trading off, but I want to do some more work on it first.

Thats Cool.
The Mustang in question is getting a 429 anyway,
just with a Tunnel ram and 2 X 4's.
I'm Building it as a '70 Mach 1. when in reality,
its a "Mock One", as no BOSS 429 Mach 1's were built.
I'm slipping into a seventies street machine phase,
and that Blown 429 would look good between the fenders.
Would still send the '67 Goat your way if you need a home for the 421.

Hey, as a Colorado Native, I have to ask, where you from?
I get down there frequently, as we still own a Rental House in Denver.

Very Nice! what do you use for the spark plug wires? ..Jeff

The distributors and wires I buy pre-made. I've made my own before, but it is a huge time saver for me to have the distributors with the wires already in them. Plus it's a very clean look.

Here's the site I got them from, http://www.scalemodelingbychris.com/auto_detailing.htm There a little expensive, but I don't mind spending it for the time saving and clean look.

I wouldn't mind turning the blown 421 over to you, but I'm hanging onto the stock Tri-power for my display. If you're interested in the supercharged 421 let me know and I will work on getting it finished and get you pics.

I'm actually not from Colorado, but California and I'm at the Air Force Academy.

Those are awesome - a well-detailed powerplant like this makes a great model all on its own. Nice work!

This is an old MPC kit, received in a box with lots of parts missing, so I scrounged thru my parts box for most of the interior, the rear end, the wheels and tires.
