mnwildpunk Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 At first I was going to post this in resin and aftermarket but thought maybe a kit was produced with one of these engines? Do any of you know where I could find a chevy 60° V-6 the sizes were 2.8L 3.1L & 3.4L I looking for a londgitudinal version like the ones that came in the S-10 I think they also came in firebirds and camaros thanks for any info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 No longitudinal version in kit form, but the 1/24 '81 Chevy Citation and 1/24 Monogram Pontiac Fiero kits included variants of the 2.8L 60* V6 engine. All the 4th Gen GM F-body kits had V8 engines. Which trans do you need for behind the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 The auto used on the 2.8 was a modified version of the 700R4, the bellhousing and the torque converter is smaller on the V6 version than the V8 one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnwildpunk Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 700r4 is the tranny I need. the 2.8l out of the citation engine would work. I think; weren't those rear wheel drive or was that the cevette I'm thinking of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 The Monogram S-10's 4.3L V6 has an auto trans behind it, and it looks to be a 700R4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnwildpunk Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 after some research the fiero would be the better engine to grab the intake is a lot closer to the longitudinal engine and from the look of it the rest of it is somewhat close. I could make it work once I got a different transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 The Monogram S-10's 4.3L V6 has an auto trans behind it, and it looks to be a 700R4. Oddly enough, even though the 4.3 is a v6 it has the small block bolt pattern since it is based on the 350 and shares it's internals. Just about any 90s GM kit with an auto transmission should have some variation of a 700R4, they were in just about everything and the difference between the V8 and V6 is pretty small.

mnwildpunk Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 But the 4.3l is the 90° v6 which is a whole different animal then the 60° degree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I got curious, looked at the name of your image, Googled, and...the engine is going to be the easiest part of this build! http://www.britishv8.org/mg/danroot.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnwildpunk Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Umm no that is not what I'm trying to build. I'm copying my old s-10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisPflug Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 S10 applications would use a Varajet 2 barrel carb or TBI rather than the F body (or Fiero/FWD) port injection setup- stock truck engine may closer to the Citation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Umm no that is not what I'm trying to build. I'm copying my old s-10 I see. What year was your S-10, and do you already have the Monogram kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
