Yes the 3406A was available with a water to air aftercooler and had an output of 425 HP.
And yes you can add an aftercooler to the Revell engine, take off the intake manifold and replace it with...well the problem is that I don't think anyone on the aftermarket does a water to air aftercooler for the Cat 3406, it looks the same for the B block by the way.

Here is how it looks on the A block.

Thank You! I believe the AMT cummins has a unit similar. Think that could be made to work?

The Revell 3406 is a big engine. It requires a lot of cutting and test fitting in a 1/25 conventional. Cabovers may be easier though. 

It looks like I should be able to fudge it into place in the Cabover frame. For some reason I'm finding it near impossible to find good reference pics of a Cat powered WT or even a Cummins just to see how the 6 cylinders are placed. I did however find an engine swap video on a Cat powdered CL on YouTube. I assume it would be similar to the WT.

When it comes to the Cat engine it depends on wich era it is, the 3406 in the Revell snap kits are an A block wich came 1973 and was made up to 1986 and was replaced with the B block 1987.
The B block has the injection pump in the middle of the engine block lengthwise and the B anc C has it right at the front cover and a larger cone in front of it and the air compressor was mounted further up, otherwise they look pretty much the same.
Another thing, the Revell engines doesn't have an aftercooler so it's a lower HP engine, the ones with aftercooler had up to 425 HP.

Good Info to have. Thank You. Did they offer an Aftercooled A block? The #D printed Cab I'm going to be using Using I'm guessing is roughly the era of the A block. Could I add an Aftercooler to the Revell engine or would it be too much work? Where would I source one? This seems like I've gone down quite the Rabbit hole.

Very Nice

Very Nice Build

[Ford WT-9000 Help]

Well Got Shipment notification for the Cab so I went ahead and ordered the IH Cab Over kit and a Revell Cat 3406 Engine. So Hopefully I'll be able to build what I'm imagining. You guys already know the color scheme 😂

[Ford WT-9000 Help]

Thanks Guys! I hope I can make this future Ford Project Work.

[Ford WT-9000 Help]

Long Time No Post. Anyway I Just ordered Texas 3D'd Ford WT-9000 Sleeper cab. I was wondering if anyone has used these 3D cabs yet and on what Chassis and what modifications would be needed? I have built 1 and have 1 in progress of AMT's Retooled International CO-4070A. I like that kit would it be acceptable to use or would I run into length issues? I'd also like to do a Cat Diesel Could I get away with a Cat 3406? I see a resin one and from an old Forum it appears that is the engine in the Revell Snapper Pete 359. I'm not a Big Rig aficionado But I do want a Ford Cabover in my small fleet of Trucks. Any Help is appreciated. 

This is the Engine I found that I might want to use: https://stsupplyco.com/products/caterpillar-3406-diesel-engine-kit-1-25-resin?_pos=2&_sid=d70c89d7a&_ss=r

This is the Cab I ordered: https://tx3dcustoms.com/products/ford-wt9000-kit

This is the Base Kit I'm thinking of Using: https://www.amazon.com/International-Transtar-CO-4070A-Semi-Tractor/dp/B08TMSPHHF/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3685BX7XDXNJA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.urExtf3J7Ff94nBDJ-0ZPTBSWW_aO61g6wO2jSp-e0srrKuw1AbULsUxmVlwNFDd3ckLoUwJmoWkITSP3bOszg.Ds7S34bJW1Czzdg0Ti89DQrpoBXazLrD9gMIUH_y7Uo&dib_tag=se&keywords=amt+international+transtar+co-4070a&qid=1747567397&sprefix=amt+international+co%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1

So I Know there are some 3D Models out there. Not sure on printability though. I Believe EDM 3D has designed files that could be made printable. However you would have to find someone to print for you if you don't have a printer.

I just got my Order Last week. Took a while for it to actually ship and then the postal service lost it... Hopefully you get your order soon.

[Looking to reacquire My First Glue Kit. 67 Mustang]

Like the title says. Years ago I traded off the remains my first Glue Kit for a JoHan Superbird body. I can't remember who I traded it off to. It was a Dark Red blown up by Firecrackers 1967 Mustang. I'd like to add it back to my collection if it still exists. I'll attach a Pic of before I blew it up and after. After of course is what I imagine it could still look like. Been years since I traded it off so It very well may not exist anymore or the person I traded with may no longer post. 

[Moebius Ford Highboy 8ft Flareside]

Awesome Build

[Ford 6.8 V10]

I don't believe I have ever seen one but maybe Combine 2 of the Revell 4.6/5.4 V8s. If I remember right that is essentially what the V10 is a Triton V8 with 2 extra cylinders.

All right Scott is going to be doing the Olds 442 I'm looking for someone to ship me a kit so I can scan it to have reference values I'll pay the shipping if you need me to and I will return it and if if you want a front end conversion I'll include it for free after it's done

Did anything ever happen from this? I'm really wanting to convert my 71 kit to a 70.

[Outlaw Trophy Resins]

I'm not here to take away from him but I will say what I've seen. I have not personally been a customer of his but several of my Facebook friends have. The wait times are huge 1 of my friends has mentioned he's been waiting 6 months now for his order. Now this is where it could seem like I'm trying to take away from his business. The kits he offers are available as files on multiple 3D file sites. That said if you have or know someone with a 3D printer you could in theory get your order sooner. I'm not saying not to order from him but be prepared for a long wait. Those who have received there orders are very satisfied with the products.

Well since I'm visiting the forums I'll share my just finished Mustang GT4. This 1 was almost done last year when I messed up a decal and put it to the side. I finally decided to finish it. Box stock build aside from some extra carbon fiber decals. If you remember my "Shelby Blue Crew" from years ago you'll know this shade of blue gets put on most my Mustang builds.

[2013 Boss 302]

Long Time no Post. Most my Builds are shared on social media anymore but I still stop by the forums every so often to see what's up. Anyway here it is. My 2013 Boss 302. The Wheels and Tires are 3D printed as are the grills and rear window louvers. The side scoops are from the AMT 67 Shelby. Color is Tamiya Coral Blue. Thanks for Looking.

[Lindberg F-150 Flareside 4x4]

I'd Be Happy To See a Reissue of this kit. It is a good kit missing the window trim is really the only downside. That and the engine builds kinda weird but that doesn't bother me. I used it to build a replica of the truck I had in High School only to roll it 8 months after buying it. To make my 2000 I had to use a Revell Lightning front end that I had to modify to match the 99+ Nose the wheels and tires were also pulled from a Revell kit and the bed cover is from the Testors? purple diecast with black flames. I miss that truck but boy was it rotted when I got it but as a first vehicle it was awesome. I mudded it almost every day and it kept ticking even after ending up on it's roof. I would definitely buy another Lindberg F150.
