Smoke Wagon Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 I’ve been doing some research into it, and the only one I’ve seen done was by Ken at Kitchen Table Resins, but it appears that business shuttered. Does anyone know if there is another resin 4.9 I6 being done or even just the intake manifold? That funky intake has been the only real hang up for me so far in trying to make my own.

Tabbysdaddy Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 I would like one for the Monogram kit to build my old 87. I think the Monogram is 1/24.
ncbuckeye67 Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 I would love to have one of those myself. I have an 87 F-1504x4, with that exact engine & a manual transmission. Looking to build a replica.
Texas_3D_Customs Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) I'm going to go to Kansas where there's a race car fab shop guys real nice going to let me come in and scan his 300 not only does he have all the parts for it has also has an LS head conversion that I'm going to do so it'll be a while but I will be making it I'm not sure if I'm going to do exactly the version that you're looking for though but it will be extremely accurate more accurate than anything else out there Edited May 24, 2023 by Texas_3D_Customs 1 1

You're taking me out of context here, I am saying it may not be exactly a certain year as year to year there are slight nuances, will probably do one that's fuel injected and like the pictures, but even if I didn't it would be a better starting point than what else is available. I will say it won't have all the hoses and what have you little bits, but it will have the nipples/connectors for them. 2

There was some minor difference I can't remember for the 86. While I'm quite certain the engine block you make will be awesome, the rest are the important parts that at least I am looking for. It doesn't make any sense to me to buy a beautiful engine block and then cover it with parts that don't come close to it in detail.
