Guys, I've got this model and its a new kit, trouble is, I got to "looking" at the parts to it, I've got some pretty interesting thoughts and ideas so, questions suffice to that...
The engine, ANYONE, have any idea if "other 426 Hemi parts are available for this kit? Why? WELL, the intake for starters, its a "Rat Roaster" type, used for NASCAR use, NOT what I believe the General Lee's 426 Hemi would have had! The same sort of intake, sure, close to a Hi-RPM, type Mopar "Cross-Ram" would be nice, OR an inline 2x4 carburetor set up, where two 4-barrel Carter carburetors would be another nice addition to this engines looks!
Anyone know of a resin cast person/company that may make parts I can use for this, if not machine to fit this engine? I'm just not happy with what I see for this part of the engine!
OR, better yet, were there ANY other cars, this scale, that have different intakes? 440, or something with something other then the "Rat Roaster"?
IF nothing else, I'll be subject to sit and design an intake to fit the bill all from scrap plastic, I have, just looking at other possible options for the model....
Any help/direction would be GREATLY appreciated, THANKS!

There aren't as many option for 1/16 scale as there are for 1/24-25. May I recommend going on eBay and doing a search of 1/16 kits and see if you find something you like. You might find rain parts there too. Don't need to buy through there but at least you get an idea if what's out there.

See, I got the kit and have to see whats out there for the engine as the details, just are NOT something the General would have had to begin with! Not to mention, there are A LOT of other things this kit BADLY needs! I'm just the person to give it a face lift!
Thanks guys! We'll see whats available! I appreciate it!

Jesse, Had a look see at both places, close but no cigar! I'm looking for intakes and oil pans and nothing they have listed is what I'm truly looking for, BUT thanks tho, I found other scale parts, I'm interested in!
The 1?16th 426 Hemi will get the "John Treatment" machined intake and oil pan to Mopar OEM parts of the year of car....'69 Dodge Charger.....Will be a fun build!
