Parts seem to intermix pretty well. They did their math right on the scale at least. Some minor mods and it should be good.

My actual engine for reference. I may use a piece of black wire to form a cold air tube... lol.

The model is LT1 so there will be some differences, but most people mistake my Miniram SBC for a LT1 anyway.

Lol... cold air tube...

Figured I'd make a set of spark plug wires to try to convert this LT1 into a SBC...

Pulled some strands of copper wire out of some 12 awg wire. Soldered them together where they go on the cap. Then found a piece of plastic to represent the distributor cap.

Re-purposed the starter motor out of the '71 kit into a Sanden A/C compressor... lol... then grafted a portion of '71 belts/pulleys on.

Getting close finishing! Engine is in... had to modify the oil pan and the transmission tail housing to get it to fit... The HEI distributor and plug wires came out pretty cool too I think.

I'm not going to pay that much attention to the under carriage. The model will spend it's entire life right-side up.

I decided to run with the Corvette steering wheel. Neither is a match for my Momo wheel, but the Vette looks more updated...

The '71 fan shroud without the fan is a pretty good approximation of my Taurus electric fan

Glass is in and some detail on the master cylinder and booster.

Body on chassis finally...

I had to break the alternator and A/C off and lower them a bit as they were hitting the hood.... funny that wasn't the case on my actual Camaro... hmmmm.....

I'm going to have to offset the wheel centerlines from the axles a bit in order to set the ride height. Also, as in real life, the offset on the Vette wheels is too deep... lol... I'll need some 1/25 scale wheel spacers.
