Big Truck Gas straight 6

[1st 700 Quad]

Does any of the aftermarket producers, resin of 3D printed, make a straight 6 gas engine that would be suitable in size for a 50s big truck? I'd even settle for a straight 6 diesel that could masquerade as a gas engine as long as it was big enough so as to not look ridiculous in a bigger truck from the era.

This topic came up a while back, IMO, the Mack R685 engine appears to have the right dimensions of a big 6 gas job.

I did a Hall&Scott gas engine 3d model and print it. I had installed in a Peterbilt 280 COE. If you want one I can do a print for you. Sent me a PM for further details

A "Scalding Hott" engine.

In Aviation they were used in many aircraft, but never liked. The Nickname "Scalding Hott" was one of the family safe names they were called. I've read a couple others that were unprintable. In Trucks & Busses though, they had very long service lives, and were used in many, many places.
