Revell made a couple of 70's Torinos, one Pro Modeler 2n1 '70 Torino GT and one '70 Torino Cobra.
They were out these last couple of years so they should be relatively easy to find.

When I`m done it won`t be  . I`m gonna set it up in a sceen . I`m gonna have it to where some one is puttin the freshly built big block in it. I`m done with the paint now so it will stay in primer and I`m thinking about puting a little rust in the 1/4 panels . If I do rust the 1/4 panels there won`t be any rust holes. Sadly the "glass" fell apart in my hands while I was trying to clean it . I need to find another one of these kits for the glass and some other small things. |

It looks like a Ford 427 SOHC but it's hard to tell what kit it came from and there has been several with that type of engine over the years. I'm not sure what kind of pics you want but I have some pics of real Ford 427 SOHC engines saved on my hd. Here is a couple I allready had at my photo host: A SOHC in the dyno  It has a very long timing chain  And finally a photo I took at Ford Power Parts in Los Angeles CA in 1998  Forcefan |

Yes its a SOHC sorry for not saying that. It came in a '30s street rod I got when I was 5 and it was molded in light grean or teal. I still have alot of that car I think. Thank you very much for the pictures , if you have any more please show them to me if its not any trouble.

Those top two pics are from the 1965 HotRod magazine cover story called "Ford's 90 Day Wonder"
Its also the very first production engine that was helped along by computer design.
