GVEMAN, any idea on an international shop I can order one from??

I have Mustang 5.0 V8 engine from Monogram kit if that can help you, not painted very well, and without exhaust pipes (only the one going out of engine blocks), if that can help you, drop me PM.

Thanks Sasa
I am doing a Monster Garage replica so I am afraid I have to go for the Chevy 454.
Thanks a lot for your very kind offer

Try Hannant's they should be able to put you up with almost everything you need, I see you live in the UK so maybe you can visit hanant's at location. http://www.hannants.co.uk/ they have a store in London and one in Suffolk.

Cheers!

Thanks Niclas
I have searched the web site with no joy but I will give them a call, had Very bad service from them in the past so not too keen to deal with them (6 weeks to deliver an in stock item when I get stuff from Japan and USA in 5 days)
Thanks again

Give a click here: Model Express - Revell 1970 Chevelle going at $10.98 USD. Great site and service, it seems to me that he does international service on the US main page.

Thanks for the link.
what opinions do people have about putting a 1/25th engine in a 1/24th car, will I tell the difference??
Did a quick calculation and on a 1 metre long engine block would be 1.6mm longer in 1/24th compared to 1/25th.
Reason I ask is I have found a source of 1/25 resin high detail 454 engine.
Opinions please.....

[SchuberT]

people who havent built both 1/25 and 1/24 will say there isnt much of a difference, but believe me, you'll see it

[lotusmark2]

bugger, the 1/25th resin eniges looked the bizz
