I'm just curious if there are any kits or aftermarket sources for passenger car and light truck diesel engines. I'm planning to do a couple of diesel rat rod models, but all I can find are the big-rig diesels. Anything from a 4-cylinder turbo to a 7.3 Powerstroke would work!

There are not any that I have found, Chuck. I've seen a few scratchbuilt, but as for any resin offerings, there are none. I myself would like to see some offered, as one of my projects, my build of my 1:1 1990 Ford F350 is on hold because of the lack of a 7.3 Liter non turbo engine, but even a Powerstroke would be better than nothing.

ARE YOU RESIN GUYS READING THIS??? WILL SOMEONE PLEASE COVER THIS GAP IN OUR HOBBY !?!?

I'm sure that just like in "Field of Dreams", if you make it, they will come!

How about an IH DT466, a DT530, a MV8 gas(404,446,478,549), and a couple different versions of the 6.9-7.3-T444E......keep watching.....


I have drawings of a Cummins also, but the IH's come first!

You can count on a couple of the 6.9/7.3 liters from me! My Ford's will thank you!

Hmmmmm.... didn't see a SD 33 or SD 33T on your list there, Dave! Well, looks like I'll have to do it! Right after I scratchbuild a VW Rabbit diesel mill...

Like there is a demand for an Sd33 besides you???
