001842C12 Keith Black Hemi Drag Engine 1/6 GMP
$99.95

Once again, GMP has done a fabulous job of creating this engine. But they’ve done it right changing all of the pieces that needed to be changed to make the engine correct. Gone is the Vertex mag replaced by the Schiefer/Cirello mag. The blower manifold has changed, as have the headers, and front timing chain cover. The engine comes semi-assembled (or semi-disassembled) and can be displayed at any step along the process of assembly as GMP has given us a convincing block with pistons, brass head gaskets, cylinder heads with realistic rocker arms, rocker arm shafts and valve springs and the chromed stock Chrysler valve covers. The engine even has a workable dipstick and dipstick tube, so if you need to check the oil, you can. The signature Ewing injector scoop can be set aside to reveal the working butterflies in the Hilborn four-holer. The scoop and valve covers are held in-place with tiny magnets that give a nice click when the pieces are assembled. The crankshaft can be turned by the crank flange on the back of the engine which in-turn rotates the blower belt and blower pulley. This engine mounts on an extremely heavy display stand with supports and a clear plastic cover to keep off dust and fingerprints. They even provide cotton gloves for the ultra-fastidious. The whole unit comes packaged in a foam cocoon inside a nicely-decorated box. This packaging insures that the engine will be well-protected and is an engineering marvel in itself. GMP has done a glorious job of creating this beautiful engine that was the motive power for probably the most famous dragster ever! It’s convincingly real and stands as a reminder of Keith Black’s engine expertise and that this engine and the car it went in was a starting point for the drag racing careers of both Black and Prudhomme. This engine is new, pulled straight from the factory case. Measures 8.75"W x 7.5"H x 16.75"L.
