1/25 Scale Bronco Models part 4: Engine Parts

This is part 4 of our series covering aftermarket parts for your 1/25 Revell classic Bronco model build.



A detailed engine compartment separates the skilled model builders from the rest




 

Replicas and Miniatures Company of Maryland offers these "Power by Ford" valve covers especially for the Revell Bronco kit



Calnaga Castings is offering these M/T finned valve covers for the small block Ford



 Calnaga also offers Holley 650 double pumper carbs



Fireball Model Works has you covered in the carb department; they have 'em all

Carter AFB





They have the GM Quadrajet in both Chevy and Buick-Olds-Pontiac configurations




Double pumper Holley


Standard Holley


They even offer a fuel injection kit


Morgan Automotive Detail also has Holley and Carter AFB carbs



If building a tribute and you need long tube headers, VCG Resins by Reese has some that might work for you


Also from VGC Resins is this authentic looking MSD Distributor



And these Edelbrock air cleaner lids







Pro Tech has the parts to make these carbs look realistic

throttle linkage kits



Rubber fuel line:



Then there is the spark plug wires and boots





Don't forget the wire looms





For adding a second battery you could use one of these gel celled units from Calnaga



Another Optima option, this one from VCG Resins by Reese





Parts by Parks offers this kit with radiator hoses, heater hoses and battery cables



While not part of the engine, they usually are attached, is the transmission. The Revell kit comes with a 3-speed manual transmission, which was the most common transmission in classic Broncos, but if you want to build a tribute and need a C-4 automatic, VCG Resins has got what you need



You could decide to go modern and install this Coyote V-8 in your Bronco, I found this on ebay
