I am in need of one or two 1/25 scale offy engines for a street rod project.

Any help of locating them would be appreciated.

Mike

The only good ones are the old Etzel ones (I assume you mean the 270
ci one, not the midget one). These are rare and expensive on eBay.

If you want to hack quite a bit, I have seen the Monogram indy racer
still on the shelves at several hobby shops.

That engine, because of mold clearance angles, does not differentiate
the cam covers. So you have to hack it off above the head and scratch
the cam covers and cam gear cover. Also the carb/injectors (it is
hard to tell what they were) are terrible and should be replaced.

BTW, I just finished a 1/8 scale midget offy to use in a scratch Offy
KK midget. I have scale drawings of both the 270 and 110 ci versions.

Thanks Don for the info, muchly appreciated.
Could you email the drawings?
Or would snail mail be better?
Send me an email, ok.
