1/24 or 1/25 scale Chevy 572 crate motor
Posted by duanecr on Friday, January 20, 2006 3:35 PM

I was watching a show called Rides recently and they highlighted a 572 Chevy Crate motor that I thought looked really sweet.  Does anyone know if there is a scale version of this motor or one very similiar in any model kits or separate?

duane,You might want to check out any of the web retailers that carry  "Ross Gibson" resin engines.They have a new chevy Rat TPI motor that shoud fit your needs. 20-25$,but his engines are HIGHLY detaile & come with PE,fan belts,etc. Punch in detail master,model car garage or scale repro's into your favorite search engine.They all carry Ross Gibson engines.Most all of his motor's come with apllicable trannies too.They're works of art in themselves.  Good luck, westmass

Yeah, I have two of them, one being the 502.  They are pretty sweet, but I am particularly interested in the 572.  The engine has some distinctive valve covers that I think would look pretty sweet on an exposed motor.  I'm also really curious as to what cars I could fit that in.

I am considering scratch building the valve covers, but I still need the rest.  Anyone know if the engine block is the same size as any other big block V8's?

Another really cool, detailed motor is the R&D Unique 350 v8.  It takes a lot of cleanup for the flash, but it has about all the details you could want for that particular engine.
