I noticed pistons in the block
a detail I haven't seen on a kit before
and not at the same hight as is correct so heads could be left of and the build would still be correct
The machineing for the valves is also a fantastic detail
Very cool kit with options I haven't seen before
Great kit I will have to look for it

The block and valves did not come with this kit. I had them in my parts box. I wish I knew where it came from, but I have no idea. I can tell you that the block and valve heads were black and the oil pan was clear.

Lot of the older AMT/MPC kits came with separate cylinder head and valves. Just checked a few kits in the stash and the 1970 Super Bee and 1970 Baldwin Motion Camaro have that detailed engine.

That block looks great with the piston crown detail, perfect for a garage dio ……… gonna start scouring the aftermarket now👌

Absolutely, I'm not that talented, so that's why I picked up a few of those garage kits.

thank you all for the great comments! JV, this is the build I was saving this block for. I have another one in my parts bin for another build in the future.

That garage kit looks cool! I like that it is self contained. I think I might build up the barn around this Camaro in a similar fashion!

I got 2 fugimi garage kits
Just got to get a few kits with tool boxes and stuff like that
I will have to have a look in some of my amt and mpc kit for that detail

Had a look through mots of my amt and mpc kits
None which has the cool detail of showing the pistons in the block
But I did find a impala kit which has a crank shaft
And also shows the rockers

I also got a few engines in a parts bin
Will have to go through them now 😆
Unfortunately I don't have much of amt or mpc kits
And most not so old

Sorry Bob I had a look at the Baldwin camaro kit
Just looked at a few reviews
I was thinking if thay made a kit pree chist thay probably wouldn't change much
In the next few thousand of years
The early kits were about 2000
The kit does have rockers showing in the heads
And yes you can see what resembles pistons
But all at the same level of the bore
And the 2 pistons on each end of the block on both sides
Have lining up blocks across them
The latest kit in that family still has those details
In the case of the block D Hadley is uesing
The pistons are at different levels and there is nothing over the pistons
Further more the pistons are machined for the valve clearance
