junkyardjeff Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 It looks like I will have to go resin to get a correct six for the Falcon Ranchero I want to build,some how I ended up with a Pontiac half 8 and need to find something to put it in and do have a Lindbergh slant six for my next Dodge truck project.

Modlbldr Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 It was mentioned earlier on pg 1 (back in 2015) by another poster, but I just finished building this MPC Mustang that came with both a V-8 and a 4 cylinder. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I have just reread this complete post and it seems I did not see anywhere the mention of the Buick Grand National's V-6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the really late reply, Doug, but the engine you are referring to is in the Revell ASA series Thunderbird race car. For reasons unknown, it comes with not one but two pairs of those rocker covers! Some of the Camaros in that series come with a nicely detailed V6 Chevy but for both the Ford and Chevy engines, you will need to fabricate headers/manifolds as they have race car specific up and over headers that really wont fit any other application. I have used both of them in street rods and they look great! While I'm here, did anyone mention the transverse V6 in the Monogram Chevy Citation?

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. I take it there is no source for a Jeep 4.0L besides the Tamiya YJ? Did the older Jeep CJ kits have a 258ci straight six? Edited December 29, 2021 by NOBLNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the military Jeeps will have the 4 cyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hi! The MPC Daytona transporter (concept truck) has a FWD Pontiac 6 and transaxle. Can't comment on the detail level, however, but I will look at the one in my stash. I also recently saw an AMT Taurus Police car, dating back about 10 years, at an OOP specialized shop, and the box stated it had a V6 engine. The box was sealed, so I could not verify if it was the Duratech or the good old 3.8. Maybe someone having built that kit would know?

You are right. Around 2006, at the Rhinebeck NY Goodguys event, a gentleman from Conn. had a black 29 roadster with a complete SHO powertrain and transaxle in the trunk! Needless to say, it was the talk of the fairground. CT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
