landman Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Just came across this thread again. Thought I'd post a few engines even if most everyone has seen them. Chevy 409 Edsel 361 Super Stallion Dodge Stealth Mitsubishi and Lambo 5.7 Corvertte Grand Sport Detroit Diesel Series 60 Ford 406
ShawnS Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 HI guys I've got a couple of works in progress with completed engine bays. First is Tamiya's BMW 635csi GpA. I added a few parts from an incomplete Fujimi 635 kit to get a little extra detail that Tamiya couldn't be bothered with. And finally Hasegawa's Jaguar XJS TWR HE. Plumbed and wired with some added extras to fill out the engine bay a little more. Without the air intake ducts With the ducts added. It's got scratch built twin oil coolers mounted at the front and it took a long time to sort all of that plumbing out. You cant see the twin electric fans and some of the other things that I added but they are there. Cheers ShawnS

Is the Hasegawa kit expensive? Are there others perhaps cheaper?
DiscoRover007 Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Have to repaint the body for this kit but the engine and interior is basically complete. Here’s how she looks. Added ignition cables and wiring, battery cables and hose clamps. Engine paint is MM aluminum metalizer. Valve cover was masked and sprayed MM gunmetal metalizer. This is the 1993 Tamiya Supra kit.

Kmb0319 Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 OK, since this is back at the front of the Under Glass section, I’ll throw one in. Maybe not my best engine, but my biggest conversion. The MPC 72 GTO. This is the box art of what’s in the kit: After a lot of research, raiding the parts box, a couple aftermarket purchases and some surgery, here’s my engine:

Anglia105E Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 This is my 4.9 litre straight six cylinder Rolls-Royce engine, which I produced as a 3D print file and then printed by Shapeways. It is 1:24 scale and needs a few minor finishing touches before it goes into the car. David

Are there others perhaps cheaper? Hasegawa does make these....a couple different versions. I bought mine ten years ago for $75, and everyone I see on ebay now still holds that price, or very close to it.
f1ford48 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Here is a stock Ford Flathead V8. in a 32 5 window coupe- 1/8 scale Edited February 13, 2018 by f1ford48 images

f1ford48 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 heres a 1/6 Hawk 1948 Flathead super detailed out to factory photos.
StevenGuthmiller Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I suppose I could add these. A 1968 Charger 440 that I used in a '69 Coronet. A 1962 Pontiac 421 that I dropped into a '63 Bonneville. And a slightly modified '66 GTO engine that's going into my current '67 Bonneville project. Steve
Belugawrx Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 Started the Fujimi Enthusiast Series Porsche 930 turbo I am building it for a buddy who had one in Mocha Brown, back in the day
W-409 Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Here is the engine for my current project, a '59 El Camino. It's an Injected Chevy 409. The biggest modifications are the intake from AMT '63 Corvette, injector stacks are made from some electric component parts and headers were scratchbuilt from plastic rod. Also the belt driven fuel pump and bracket, plus that alternator bracket are scratchbuilt. And of course it has some added detailing.

TooOld Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 I've always enjoyed this thread so after being dormant for 4+ years I figured it was time to revive it again . I'll start it with some pics of my current project , a '71 Petty Roadrunner . Next is a 383 in the MPC '71 Roadrunner . The last one is a 283 in my '60 El Camino . I was sure I already posted it but after going thru 10 years of posts I couldn't find it so here it is (again?) . 2
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Well, as long as we’re adding new stuff to old threads, I can’t pass this one up without posting a few shots of the Hemi in my ‘68 Coronet. My favorite engine and engine compartment to date. Steve 1
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 And while I’m at it, I just as well add a few shots of the 389 4 barrel going into my current ‘64 Pontiac Bonneville convertible project. Steve 3
