Detroit Diesel 12V-71

[BigBad]

Me again, I was wondering if anybody delt with Sourkraut's lately. It seems most of the interesting stuff in their listing is sold-out... 2 hole Budd wheels, rear fenders, air intake joints, tool boxes, engines, super single wheels and tires. You name it. Anyway, I had two options for the Detroit V12. One was buying the one from Sourkraut or cut two V8's from the AMT Chevy Titan or ALF firetruck kits. Does anyone know where else I could get a 12V-71? I might try contacting Sourkraut's for one or two. I'm a Detroit 2 stroke maniac, I'd put them everywhere! Love that sound...

Bob, if, and I say IF, you can find an old built up of the AMT Kenworth race trucks (and for the life of me I can't remember the names right now ) somewhere that someone isn't asking arms and legs for, they both have Buzzin Dozens in them. It has to be the race trucks though, not the "Papa Truck" or "Hideout Truck" transporters for the race trucks, those transporters have the V8 just like the ALF or other AMT truck kits.

That would be the Tyrone Malone Super Boss and the Bandag Bandit kits. They show up on ebay, but usually at a hefty price.

Yes, I remember those Tyrone Malone kits. But apparently AITM has some Detroit V12's. I think I'm going to give them a try.

Thanks for the interest guys! I'll let you know what happens with this.
