So, I'm playing around with parts and pieces that find their way into my shop.
I like to think that I have a fertile imagination, and being both a child of the 60's and a former racer; things just seem to pop sometimes.
Well, some synapses fired recently, and this is forming up on the workbench.
First, the creation of an 1/18 scale Cross Ram Fuel Injected Big Block.
Couple of sample pictures here of the real thing here.
And pieces from the parts bin.
The long block is from the Carousel 1 L88 Corvette mold; not sure where the injectors came from, but they were intended to be vertical and not horizontal.
Stuff it into my donor chassis, and really pleased with where we can start from.
There are already some conflicts, as there is a clearance issue with the Master Cylinder, however this can be cured by going to a more contemporary multi-container/remote set up, like this Tilton unit.
Here's a quick picture of some 3D printed flares. Still haven't figured out how they will work out.
