it's a rear exhaust big block, almost looks like a Force.

it's definitely not a tamiya stadium truck no Tamiya until VERY recently even had a rear exhaust engine...and they sure as hell didn't have a big block.

it looks vaguely familiar, but for the life of me i couldn't tell you what it is.

I think your right on it not being a tamiya , mainly because tamiya doesn't own anything that updated as of yet. they are about 20 years behind everyone else. But as that being a big block , i think your mistaken. look closley at the engine and the size of the fuel tubing , i think it's a small block......but who know's i could be mistaken.

Fuel tubing is fuel tubing. it actually looks proportionally smaller than mine (mho)
Also, a small block that old ("that old" judging from how old the buggy appears to be) would not be rear exhaust. there were round port side exhaust picco SB's, but that's definitely a "real" big block.

compare the proportions.
