CITY COBRA Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 The ribbed front fenders and the cowl panels looks awsome. Scale it out take 8 inches out of the roof get that chopped look. Then put some 22.5 low pro tires all around. Lookin' good. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Smith Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Tim (aka Machinac359) or anybody else that can help me out. This is the kit I'm working on Can you or anybody tell me what kind of an engine is in this kit? I know it is a Cummins w/ twin turbocharger, when I search google there are alot of different types (NTA 370 & 855) So this is where I need the help for the oil,fuel etc Thanks for anybodys help J Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anthony Oteri Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Jimmy, Try this http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thsca...jan_1991_cummi/ This should give you what you need on oil lines and air compressor plumbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anthony Oteri Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 In case you didn't know, your kit was previously known as the Black Magic Peterbilt. The article I gave you the link for refers to the BM Pete. If this is no help to you I'm sorry! :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjscustommodels Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 your engine is the Same one I have in my pete. Its the Cummins NTC-350 I also have the Black Magic Pete and its the same engine as the one im building now... I might be wrong, So everyone dont yell at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Albion Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I,m pretty certain that the engine in the Revell Peterbilt 359 is a Cummins NTC475. I found a web site where they are selling a NTC475. Check the link below for further details. http://www.dieselenginemotor.com/diesel/engines/27,1.html Hope this helps.

mackinac359 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Dave is right, the Revell of German Peterbilt kits are not the Cummins NTC 350. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
