That engine looks phenomenal in that Corvette Tim! That's very exciting, I can't wait! You are working your tail off on these builds! 😎👍

Hey Tim, I like the fact that the engine is setting behind the front cross member. After 1963, cheverolet moved the engine behind the cross member and offset the engine two inches towards the passenger side of the car. This was done to improve weight distribution. This fact is why the C2 and later variants were called mid-engine cars. If you look at the engine bay of a Camero, you will notice the engine sits atop the front cross member. Also, the Chevy II Novas, pre-68 had the engine locate further aft then the Camero, but not as far back as the Corvette. The front engine of the Chevy II aligned with the center line of the front spindles. I hope you don't mind the trivia. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers

I got the 65 stingray Vette with a scratch built Sonny's style racing engine should be a wicked build when finished

Very cool looking combination. I'm kind of surprised you didn't use a candy colour on the body.

[@Ratdaddy2023]

Thats just the orange its molded in.... It's got Kandy Apple Red in it's future.....

[@ModelCarMinion]
