Does Anyone 3-D Print A Ford 300 Six Cylinder?

[Plowboy]

With all of the 3-D printers going now, surely someone makes one. I did a search. But, all I found were the files.

I did see some resin 240 6s out there (VCG Resins, I believe), but they were out of stock.  Didn't see a 300.   But isn't the 240 in the Mobeius pickups basically the same?

I would be interested in the fuel injected version to build my 87. With a 5 speed.

The M50D is very similar to the 3.8L S/C 5-speed, so you could source the trans from a Revellogram Thunderbird S/C (if you could find an engine.....)

I have a Moebius six cylinder that I got in a trade. It's garbage. The rear end of the block is taller than the front and the transmission mounts at an angle.

I'll take it.

I noticed that too when I used one. I ended up sanding the oil pan mounting surface flat and cutting the bellhousing mounting flange off since I was using a different transmission. But, none of that should be necessary on a new kit.

I got the fuel injected version from Kitchen Table Resins several years ago. No idea if it's still available. The transmission from the Lindberg "Off Road 4 x 4 F 150" is a perfect match for the 5 speed in my '90 F 150.

If you contact Josh through his website and let him know which engines you are interested in, he'll email you when they'll be available again. He has a couple different 240/300 available.

Id be interested in a couple 300's. Id like to build a model of my old truck, but I need a 300 to make it correct, specifically an EFI 300.

That guy's files are great BTW, I have a few of his (and I'd like to pick up that engine kit too...)

The dual 4 bbl version is pretty cool. Hhmmm… wheels are turning. Brewing up a new project here. I’m picturing a Maverick bracket car with wicked 300 six power. 
 

Darn! Another one for the project book. I’m never going to build them all.

There were a handful of crossflow heads for the 300 made for a joint UPS/Ford project that fell through. They are highly sought after by 300 guys. There's is also a way to cut down LS heads to fit the 300.
