Dirty Donnie 69 GTX
« on: August 19, 2019, 02:10:07 PM »
Just picked up this kit today, primarily because of the sprue drawings on the bottom of the box.  It shows two different engines.  Got the kit home and immediately ripped it open to see what it's got.  Molded in black  >:( , but now to the reason for this post.  It does have both the 426 Hemi and the 440 6 pack.  Now for the really interesting part there are four intake manifolds in the kit: 1X4, 2X4 in-line, 2X4 Cross ram, and the 3X2.  Only noticed one transmission.  I didn't open the sealed bags, but each sprue is bagged separately and I only noticed one 4bbl carburetor and the three deuces.  I was just this morning getting ready to seek help finding a 2X4 inline for the 440, guess my prayers have been answered.  Now a question for all you MOPAR nerds, what carburetor would have been used on the in-line 2X4?  Carters, Holleys, Rochesters (ROFLMA) ?
When I win the Powerball I will switch to the real ones.

Whatever carbs you decide to use, get the  Fireball 3D printed ones. They are unbelievably well made.

    FROM THE FACTORY
Single 4 bbl. on the 440 would be a Carter
Dual 4 bbl.'s on the 426 would also be Carters...same w/ cross ram (found on the 361,383,413 from 1960-1961)
The 3 deuces on the 440 would be Holley's
