Greg Myers Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Might not get all the wheels and tires, but here's a really nice flathead four.
disabled modeler Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Finding 60s/70s straight 6cyl engines/trans has always plagued my Chevy/Ford/Plymouth/AMC projects. The AMT 69 Firebird kit has a nice in line 6cyl (Sprint 6 engine) in it. Edited June 16, 2015 by disabled modeler

jas1957 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Many of the MPC Fox Mustangs have turbo fours. MPC 1932 Chevy Roadster has a straight 6.

Jantrix Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 The Monogram 1/24 '53 Chevy has a very nice I6 with some go-fast goodies. Being 1/24 it's a little big for 1/25 but it looks great other Monogram stuff like this '39.
thatz4u Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 The original Johan Maverick has a nice 6 cyl 170-200 cu in size
Longbox55 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 The AMT AMC Pacer ahs the OHV AMC 6, and the AMT '41 Plymouth has the flathead Chrysler 6. The Trumpeter Nova has the 3rd generation Chevrolet 6. For the Chevrolet V6, both Monogram and AMT have done the 4.3 V6 in the Vortec configuration, the Monogram version also comes in the Turbocharged Syclone version. The 2.8 60 degree V6 has been done in at least the Monogram Fiero and I'm pretty sure that the AMT Beretta has it as well, both in the FWD configuration (the RWD version is a different block), Monogram has also done the 3.8 Buick V6 in both the GNX and the Firebird GTA. Something that might be worth noting, with the mention of the Chevrolet 6 cylinders, they do fall into certain years of production, with little to no overlap. Even within certain families of those engines, there's variations that were only done for certain years, and would incorrect for earlier or later vehicles. A quick breakdown, with kit sources listed: AMT/MPC '32 Chevrolet Cabriolet/'33 Panel Truck; This engine would only be correct for a '29-'36. This engine is considered the 1rst gen. AMT '50 Pickup, '51 convertible/Bel Air/Aerosedan,'37 Coupe/Cabriolet,Galaxy Limited Sedan Delivery/Aerosedan/Coupe, Revell '41 Pickup; Thise engine is the early 2nd Gen 216. It would be correct for Passenger car (manual transmission only) '37-52, Light Truck and Sedan delivery '37-'53. It could also pass for the early 235 found in the Heavy trucks, '41-'49. AMT and Monogram '53 Corvette, Monogram '53 Bel Air; Only kit versions of the early full pressure oiling 235. As they come in the kit, only correct for '53 Passenger with automatic transmission. The Corvette engines have many Corvette specific parts on them not used on regular Passenger. AMT '60 Pickups; Last of the 2nd gen engines. Correct for any Passenger or Truck '55-'62, some '63 4x4s did use this engine as well. The rocker cover will require some alteration to be accurate for '55-'58, as the oil filler is in the wrong location. Trumpeter Nova, AMT Nova Wagon; I can only really speak for the Trumpeter kit, but looking at the instructions from the AMT, they look similar in basic details. 3rd Gen engine. as it comes, correct for '62-'66 Nova, but can be easily altered for be correct for any 194/230/250 engine through the early '80s. Some extra alterations, and it can also pass for the 292 Truck engine. AMT '64 Chevelle Wagon; Again, another kit I have to go off the instruction sheet, as I have not seen the kit in person. Should be usable for the any Chevrolet '63 and up. Has a large slot in the block for the axle. Oil pan is reasonably correct for the mid and full size cars and trucks, unlike the Chevy II/Nova specific pan on the Nova kits. MPC/AMT '69 Firebird; Pontiac specific engine, not used by any other GM division.
afx Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 AMT's '51 Chevy kits have straight 6 engines, and the AMT '41 Plymouth has a straight 6 flathead engine. '41 Plymouth
Johnt671 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 The Pontiac Fiero kits I have come with a 2.5 4 and a 2.8 six.
disabled modeler Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Ahh , yes ... the chopped Pontiac 389 , yielding 194 cubes . I am putting one of those slant 4cyls in a old AMT 63 Tempest HT if I ever find the rest of the parts it needs...already have the engine.
Stray Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 From The Parts Box: The Ford 170 Pursuit 6 cyl Holden (GMH) straight 6, can be from 161ci to 202ci And the 186 X2 version which had twin down draught Strommies An early Offenhauser A 2JZGTE with a rather large turbo And he has 4 versions of the SR20DET
Joe Handley Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 While I'm aware that I am resurrecting the dead here, does anybody know if there is a Jeep 4.0l I-6 in 1/25 scale? Don't care if it is resin or 3d printed, just a good rendition of it. I have the Pacer kit with the 258, which is related, but would rather have something more along the lines of the EFI equipped 4.0l instead. Tamiya had a 1/24 YJ Wrangler with a 4.0l, but those appear to be discontinued and pricey right now.

The black sprue was sold out a while ago.
DougS Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Here"s a stock and custom ford 4 cylinder from AMT PINTERA Pinto Showcar #T225601
DougS Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Does anyone know of a kit that includes a Ford V6 with chrome valve covers that say Ford Motorsport on them?
426 pack Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Moebius models has a nice inline 6 in a few of there ford truck kits.

The AMT Capris II kit has a Ford Cologne 2.8 V6. It does not have Ford Motorsport on them though. Might be able to modify a cover from an 8.
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 I'm surprised no one (I don't think they did) mentioned the stock four bangers in both AMT and Revell Model T & A (can I slip that through the censors?) kits. The Revell kits have some hop-up parts in them. Not the recent issue Revell Model A, the older ones. -RRR
GeeBee Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 The Lindberg and the later AMT 64 Plymouth belvedere has a slant 6 included in the kit
GeeBee Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Tamiya's Morgan 4/4 has a Ford crossflow 4 cylinder engine, the Tamiya Jaguar Mk2 has a nice straight 6 engine in it, as so does the latest Jaguar E Type coupe from Revell. Edited January 6, 2021 by GeeBee
