Detriot diesel 6.2 or 6.5TD engine as a model?

[PierreR89]

Anyone here knows if anyone makes the 6.2 or 6.5TD v8 as a model?
I am thinking of bying the revell gmc big game truck and make it in to a chevy with a 6.2 engine as it is what my real one has.
Exept mine is not lifted and only 2wd..
Is there someone who makes those engines as models or i have to modify the engine that comes with the kit?

If it was me, I would modify a 454 to look like a 6.2/6.5L Diesel. Unless the Chevy truck you are building is 1/24 scale, the Meng motor will be a bit large.

It would not be too hard to make a 454 look like a 6.2. The intake could be modified and the carb removed. Then add an injection pump and delete the distributor. Then use stiff wire for the fuel lines and bend them to look like fuel lines not ignition wires. A big thick aircleaner with 2 wings nuts and your set. If you do it right, you will be the only one to know if was not a 6.2L Diesel to start with.

I am sure the Meng is nice, but they are not a cheap way to get a motor.

The Revell kit is in 1/24 scale so the meng engine would probably fit in it.
But i am not going to buy their hummer kit just to steal the engine from it even if you barely can see it when you open the hood (just like the real ones)

Converting a 454 sounds like a better idea, i think they are about the same size in real to.
It could be fun to try to convert it and if i am unsure i can just go to my parents (where the truck sits right now) to check if i am unsure about some things.
Or open the hood on my Suburban that has the 6.5TD in it as they are basically identical exept for the turbo.
