Vintage Mopar - 41 Plymouth - flat 6. Lindberg 330, AMT Deora and AMT XR6 - slant six Vintage Ford - Revell '31 Model A's These are just off the top of my head. There are lots more, european, japanese, domestic. What sort of car are you into? Maybe someone can recommend something. One of the AMT early Firebirds has a Pontiac straight six in it IIRC. And then there is the Red Baron Show Rod. That's also got an inline engine. Mongoram did a Fox Mustang Cobra with a turbo'd Pinto four in it. Fujimi do a tuning parts kit containing a pair of straight six Nissans. Monogram BMW 535 has a straight six. Clearly Scale (http://www.clearlyscale.com/category/engines) do 3 different 1.8 litre VW fours. The Parts Box (https://www.thepartsbox.com/store/index.php?page=browse&action=list&group=3&cat=17) do Resin Ford and Holden Sixes, a flathead six, an offy, a Nissan SR20 and a Toyota 2JZ. And so on... Edited January 25, 2018 by zenrat
wrecker388 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I think one of the Moebius Ford trucks has a 300 Inline 6 in it. The 69 i think. I'd think there would be a few people chiming in with a Cummins diesel in something. I think there's one of them made by Trailer Trash customs? Don't quote me on that but i do remember seeing a resin cast 5.9 somewhere on this board before. I'm having a ball with my 34. Just need to take some pics to post up. I've not had this much fun with a model in quite some time. Probably because I've not built a complete parts box sourced hot rod in an eternity. I'll post some pics of my current progress when i get a chance to. Edited January 25, 2018 by wrecker388

I looked at those. I wish they'd do a better job at identifying the brand and model of the engine. Grey six cylinder isn't very descriptive.
Belugawrx Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 AMT chevy trucks pre '70's all straight 6's
Pim Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 I think I might be able to throw together an entry the plan is to strip back a revell 41 Willis and shove the running gear from a revell svo fox body in it I plAn to remove the fenders and bonnet and maybe the turbo for a blower
1930fordpickup Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Off the top of my head. Amt 50 Chevy Truck ( Bruce commented on ) , 1953 Corvette Blue Flame 6 MPC Willys Jeep, Monogram 88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe , Monogram Duesenberg Has an Inline 6 or 8. Now with some looking around. Lindberg 29 Mercedes Benz SSK has an inliner. The Olds Aerotech has a Quad 4, newly released Datson Pickup has a 4 cylinder, Amt Courier has a Turbo 2.3 4 , 1932 Chevy has a 6 roadster and the delivery also, Monogram 31 Rolls Royce has a 6. What does the 30's Packard Boat tail have in it? The one I have not seen mentioned yet is the Hudson kits. With that being Said I am in with a Hudson. I think I have one here.
Jantrix Posted January 29, 2018 Author Posted January 29, 2018 Some more work done on the '41 Willys. Slant six is in place. Intercooler fabricated and in place. Lots to do yet, but I should have the chassis rolling soon.

Grey six cylinder isn't very descriptive. Ah, yes. That is for copyright reasons. Holden six engines are named for the colour they were painted by the factory - Grey, Red, Blue, Black. Pursuit six cylinder is a 200ci Ford. Grey Six is a 133 or 138ci Holden. Red Six is a 130 to 202ci Holden.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_straight-six_motor Red Six X2 is a 179ci twin carb Holden. Kew is a 250ci 50's Dodge flathead. SR20DET is a 2 litre DOHC EFI Turbo Nissan four. 2JZ-GTE is a 3 litre DOHC Turbo Toyota six. The Hogan's Heroes jeep has an inline engine. A four cylinder Willys flathead which would be right at home where you are putting that slant six...
bill_67 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Hi guys, I would like to enter this year's cannonball run. This year I would like to enter Revell Alley Rat, powered by Trailer Trash Kustoms 5.9L Cummins which I plan to add a twin turbo to this engine. I will draw a lot of inspiration from the new Dodge Power Wagon, as it is something i'm thinking of purchasing in 1:1 . Here are some pics of the engine and kit before I start.

Bill, I think I speak for everyone when I say, you have our attention. A very unusual and very cool idea you have there and we'll be looking forward to seeing it come together. I've added you to the roster. If anyone needs to be added to the roster, on the second post in this thread, please make sure we've seen photos of your unstarted project, and let me know.
Fat Brian Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I think I'm going to throw my hat in the ring on this one. I'm doing the AMT 77 Mustang II with donor parts from I think a Revell Mustang of similar vintage with the 240 straight six from the Moebius 69 F-100. The engine is going to get a turbo and modern electronics and I will scare up some tunery style wheels from somewhere.
Packmule Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) My entry for 2018 Cannonball Run 50 chevy 5 window with a 5.9 cummins. Went from none to 2 now. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to get a suspension plan Edited July 11, 2018 by Packmule
Jantrix Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 A quick note. This in-liner theme is as narrow a theme as we've ever done. There are bound to be folks doing the same engines, cars, whatever. Don't let this bother you. Build on if that's what you want to build.
Jantrix Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 Some work getting done down on the 'ol homestead. What do you think of my solution for the hole in the hood?
Erik Smith Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 You’ve got a great combination going on Rob. I like it a lot.
1930fordpickup Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Rob this is a good looking Car. I like the wheels not being chrome better. I will get my pictures up as soon as I dig out the Hudson. Until then it will not be official.

wrecker388 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Get down with the (Slant) Sickness! Introducing the start and rudimentary mockup of my turbo 225 Slant powered 34 Ford 5 window. Gonna go with a heavy patina on the body, and I'm sticking with the Roadkill inspired hater pipe exhaust. I originally planned to use a Mustang II IFS from a Monogram 37 Ford, but it refused to cooperate so we're going old school. Front frame rails aren't exactly straight but that simply is a result of all of the torque and horsepower the 225 is putting out. Lol
webestang Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 This would be a good "get back to building" project I have been looking for. I'm thinking a older Mustang with a straight six. I'll see what I can come up with.
Fat Brian Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) I've got some things done on the Mustang, I made a custom intake/exhaust manifold and combined a 2000ish hood with the stock one to get a nice modern look. I also got the wheels mostly ready for paint. Edited February 7, 2018 by Fat Brian
oldcarfan Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 If I may join late, I'd like to do so. I gave up on trying to convert a Chevy six into a Cummins 6BT and ordered the Cummins from Trailer Trash Customs. I also got the Dodge Ramcharger last night on clearance so I think the two will make a good combo.

Just FYI for anyone considering joining us, there is NO official start date. You can join this CBP up to 48 hours before the end of the build off.
