Looking for info on the old Monogram Chevy engine kit.

[RonOC]

In going thru my box of 1/8 scale parts, I came across a long forgotten bag of parts from the 283 Chevy engine Monogram kicked out sometime before the original Big-T. (I think, the mind grows cloudier as the years go by)

Anyway, the block and pedestal are long gone, but most of the other pieces are there. I have the four barrel carb with the original air cleaner. (but no manifold?) The Potvin front mounted blower pieces. Hilborn injectors.

So what I'd like to borrow is a copy of the original instructions to see what I really have and what's missing. I just know everybody but me has these.

Thanks for any info.

Ron, if you need to replace any parts, just ask. One of us will have what you need.

Except for the pedestal, wasn't that the same engine that went into the Big T itself?

I have the complete kit... E-mail me your addy and I'll make a list of everything that is included in the kit.... Or I could list the items here for everyone to read.. Either way.. fastmuscle@webtv.net

Thanks Deuces. I'd say make it available to everyone.

Handle it Guido, get with Dan and shoot the info to him to post if he doesn't already have it.

As I remember it, the engine kit came out first. Then the Big-T kit. They did away with the big hole in the oil pan for the pedestal and some of the fat mounting pins for the optional manifolds and added spark plug wiring and fuel lines to the carbs.

Here are some scans of the instructions in my kit. I scanned them at 600 dpi so they should blow up nice & big.
