I've guessed at a few. Can anyone tell me what the numbered engines are?

  1. Modern V6?
  2. Chrysler turbine
  3. 331 or 392 Hemi
  4. ? Granted, there isn't much visible
  5. Packard straight 8

Thanks, muchly

#3 - with that square transmission, I'm guessing the Chrysler early Hemi came from the AMT '32 Ford Roadster kit.

#5 - judging by its size relative to all the others, that may be a Chrysler straight-8 block from the MPC '32 Chrysler roadster/phaeton kit.  The only Packard straight-8's I'm familiar with are from the Monogram kits. They are 1/24 scale and look REALLY big. I'm thinking of using one in a street rod and have been playing with that idea a little.

#2 looks like a Chrysler turbine engine.

#3 (no plating) might be from an old Lindberg kit.  Some of those are pretty straightforward cribs from AMT Trophy Series kits.

#4 (front sump pan) looks like the OHC Ford engine from the Monogram T'rantula dragster.
