Nova-ss Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) I was giving a orange crate full of old model parts.I don't know what most of these are from,there is really no bodys....just parts.and few bodys but 99 % is parts.The engines are mostly old.do any of you all know what these are from....kit wise? Thanks,Chris Edited November 10, 2010 by Nova-ss
Longbox55 Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 The 4 black engines are all AMT, looks to be 2 Nailheads from the '40 Ford Coupe, the Flathead may be from the same kit, but might be from the '39/40 Sedan or the Sedan Delivery version, kind of hard to tell for sure. Another posability is that it's from the '32 Coupe, would need to see the heads (bolt count is different) to be sure. The Smallblock Chevy in the back with the 6 carbs is from the AMT '32 Ford Coupe.
Dan Helferich Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) Bottom left is the Dodge Hemi from the original AMT Ala Kart kit. The axle hole engines are from '60's AMT 3 in 1 kits. The 4 cylinder, center bottom is the stock '29 Model A engine from the Ala Kart kit with the OHV conversion. I'm pretty sure Bill got the other engines correct.

Nova-ss Posted November 13, 2010 Author Posted November 13, 2010 Thanks guys for the knowedge on these parts.Thanks,Chris
jbwelda Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) i am not so sure that bottom left motor is from the alakart, and definately the ala kart didnt come with that induction setup. heres an ala kart motor i just built: i didnt show it, but the trans is really not very engraved like the one shown is...i wish it were more detailed like that! but man thats a great little stash for the future!

Dan Helferich Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) William, your Ala Kart engine is from the '90's new tool kit, the engine in question is from the original '60's Double Kit tooling which built an Ala Kart and a '29 Model A roadster. And I agree with Dave that the 2 axle hole engines look like Ford FE's from AMT 3 in 1 kits. Edited November 14, 2010 by Dan Helferich
Modelmartin Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 William, your Ala Kart engine is from the '90's new tool kit, the engine in question is from the original '60's Double Kit tooling which built an Ala Kart and a '29 Model A roadster. You can just make out the Dodge lettering on it. It was a Dodge Red Ram Hemi. I believe it was the only one ever kitted. It's a very cool engine.
Nova-ss Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 hi All,I thank you all for your info.I don't know enouch about these engine and the kits they came out of.I know there old cause they have holes for the front axle.I have a bag full of these and some not painted or glued.I don't know what they should be put in.I have other bags full of body parts and interior and wheels and chrome parts.to much to know what to put them in....I'm a heavy truck builder.I do build some other stuff to but don't know about these parts.I'll show other pictures of the other stuff to if any can help it would be a big help.TIA....Thanks,Chris
jbwelda Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 oh. i stand corrected then. i thought the reissue (which the motor i showed certainly is from) was just like the original, but obviously not. i would have preferred those dodge valve covers to be honest. thanks for the corrections.
Nova-ss Posted November 16, 2010 Author Posted November 16, 2010 Here's a few more.I don't know what these are and would like to know.Thanks to all.Chris
