Yes, the original '55 BADMAN kit came with a small block. The later release diecast (because the original was the Two Lane car came with the 348/409. The actual car had an L88 427. Then when the diecast BADMAN still had the 358/409. That plastic model kit was originally a stock 1955 Hardtop kit.
Cool update! The Badman is my favorite kit from back in the day. Unfortunately, my memory doesn’t have the answer about the engine size. Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!
Badman is coming along nicely Jay, Im pretty sure it's always had that same engine, a lot of those kits weren't very accurate, be sure was fun to build, Merry Christmas to you and your family buddy, ⛄🎄👍
Mine has a small block Jay. Yours is looking great! Love me some BadMan!!! 😎👍

@slowridemodelcars1687 OH yeah I love building off the wall cars!!! Great channel
Looking good and thanks for sharing. Happy holidays to you and your family!!
Thank you Link🎄
As far as I know, the tooling is mostly original. Same engine. Since your box has a bar code, it is a later reissue
I know mines a newer kit but I don’t remember the original from 69 if it had a 409.
No clue on the 409??? Nice progress on the 55. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.
Thank you for checking out the channel and Merry 🎄
I'm pretty sure it's all ways been a small block.
The kit they retooled for the bad man kit was a small block
Thank you for checking into to the channel
Yes, it's always been the same motor.
I had that same kit back in 1970
@@johnsheodon1554 it’s just a great kit,lots of memories!
