Casey Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The Trumpeter '63 Chevy II Nova kit includes a straight six: http://blog.modeljun...from-trumpeter/ The AMT '60 Chevy pickup is about the next closest in 1/25 scale.

Chuck Most used the Trumpeter '63 Nova engine in his '70 Nova: if I ecall, that trumpeter is crazy $$$ compared to a regular kit... BUT, I migt maybe have the Chevy.. I know I have SOME old Chevy trucks around here. otherwise it'll be a curbside for now!<LOL next gotta find some good bench seats for a 72 nova... I found 2 from a older car in my parts box that match.. and was able to fill the seam (split benches).. but then the sprimer sputtered and I have to resand em... although the texture is great for the carpets!<LOL> Edited August 1, 2012 by tvandmoviecars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The Trumpeter Nova kits are the only game in town for the 194/230/250 Chevy 6. The AMT '69 Chevy truck is a comletely different engine, being the 235/261 block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I know someone is casting that Trumpeter six-banger. I'll ask around and see what I can find. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 There is a 6 cylinder Chevy engine available from MCW Automotive Finishes. It has a generator and alternator depending on which years you are depicting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I bought a couple later resin 6 cyl Chevy engines a few years ago IIRC from Missing Link Resin, don't know if they still cast them...plan to use 'em in a '69 Nova and a '69 Camaro.

mikemodeler Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Did not see anything at Missing Link but then they tend to have more available at shows or on eBay. I did see where VCG Resins had a 6 cylinder Chevy engine listed, although it did not say what all came with the engine (manifolds, pulleys, carb etc).

Longbox55 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Just took a look at the VCG Resins Chevy 6. It's a '37-'52 216, possibly cast from the AMT '37 Chevy, since it has the pre-war "crashbox" 3 speed attached to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
