Hi,
I think I used to be a member here, but can't find my original self.
I just emailed Brent with the questions I am going to ask in this post. For some reason (old age!) I decided to email him, rather than post on the forum. Once again, Brent, sorry for being so presumptious.
I am a semi-professional (which means I can't make a living at it!
model builder.
I am going to build a large scale (1/8th; 1.5"= 1'; approx 19" long) display model of a 427 S/C.
I have quite alot of reference material, but I still need drawings, diagrams, photos, and general info.
For instance, I need the part #, or photos, or both, of the carb used on the S/Cs.
If any of this info is already posted, I would like a little guidance in locating it.
I will be documenting this completely scratch built (no Cobra kits or parts have ever been made in this scale) model, and would be more than happy to post updates on my progress, or lack thereof.
I did some basic CAD Drawings of the engine block, based on several smaller scale models, and once I have that built, I will tackle the heads, with all their intricate and fascinating shapes.
I have not posted anything on this build on my website yet, but if you have the time, you can see some of my other work at

I am looking forward to being involved in a club meant for the world's best auotmobiles!
Thanks,
Mike
