    Is there any manufacturer that produces a sbb 350 for use in a 1/24 scale? Either as a separate part or in a kit that could be bashed?

    I remember reading on the scale auto forum of a guy who did a 4 door skylark with a SBB.I checked and he modified a small block chevy.

    Thanks. I was thinking of using a couple of turbo 6 motors and splicing them together then modifying an intake for it. An aircleaner would hide the discrepancies fairly well. :Do No:

    At 1/24, would a scale 350 really be all that visually different from the same scale 455?
    Except for the valve cover bolts (6 vs. 5) of course. If you could figure out a way to modify the number of valve cover bolts, wouldn't that be close enough?

    Maybe? I was hoping to not have to try and build my own or have to modify one to get it "close enough" to use. Using a 455 would probably be the easiest though.

    I don't think any kit manufacturer ever put a SBB in a kit. I have some Buick kits and they all have BBB or nailheads.
