PHPaul Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Brand not terribly important, it's going into a kit-bash Willys pickup. Prefer a complete engine. Assembled or on the parts tree is fine. Gluebomb is good too, as long as it's reasonably complete and can be stripped and repainted. 1/25th scale. I have three boxes full of various Willys parts and the complete dump body from the AMT DC-9964B Autocar dump truck to offer in trade. Thanks for looking!

TarheelRick Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 The only flathead 6 that I know of and is readily available, is in the AMT 41 Plymouth kit. I used mine to build my Plymouth into a short-track racer. Wish I could help more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mobeus '53 Hudson Hornet kit has a nice straight 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand Mobeus kits, we're getting into pretty expensive territory there. I'll keep it in mind tho, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 The Hudson is not that overpriced in comparison to current Revell and AMT list prices. The quality is VERY good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucks Junk Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Hi, I just joined. Did you find a flathead? I have one mostly complete, couldn't find belt/pulley piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHPaul Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 I did, thanks. Another project on the "eventually list" is a 30's Ford pickup kitbash. A flathead 4 would be appropriate for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwulf Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I have at least a couple of flathead 4's available. Depending on your needs, you're welcome to the complete running gear/rear end as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one mostly complete, couldn't find belt/pulley piece The part between the two parts trees is for the V-8 in the Plymouth kit. Just hate for you to lose it then decide you want to build the V-8 for something. Just an FYI it's a little replacement for the AMT Chrysler Kit car oval track race cars as the the one that is in those kits is a little too small, closer to 1/26th or 1/27th scale.

W Humble Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Another odd-ball source: the AMT 3in1 boat kit, c. 1960, came with a stock Chris-Craft flathead six, marine style. I still have mine; not very detailed and in my parts stash 63 years now... The alternative engine was a sorta' Lincoln, very crude and lacking detail, but 1/25 scale motors were super scarce in '60; only in '61 did they start to prolificate in kits. I remember... I restored my boat, keeping all of the blue 'custom' rattle-can metallic paint I put on it back when. It wasn't a bad kit at all! Let me know if you need it; I only ask postage as my retirement income is limited and being eaten up. Wick, 78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHPaul Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 Thanks for thinking of me. That project was completed some time back so I'm good. Enjoy your retirement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
