Found a Chrome Straight 6

[Edsel-Dan]

As stated, I found a Chrome Straight-6 engine in a box of parts I got today.

I do not recall any kit with one. Anyone here have an idea??

Yea, I know, PIC's!!!!!

Sorry, Just got the Engine, and as I take all Pic's Outside, Wind is Too strong.

Maybe tomorrow, Wind depending.

Maybe a parts pack engine?

My first guess is that it's from one of the chrome-plated Monogram classic kits from days of yore.

I think one of the Pontiac OHV sixes was chrome in one of the early MPC or AMT Firebird releases.

The Daytona Transport comes with a chrome 6.

Revell Jaguar XKE?

[Foxer]

Sure sounds like a question needing photos.

[Edsel-Dan]

Definitely Not from a 30's Classic!!

Got some pic's but not on the table. Had to hold it.

And had trouble logging in to p-bucket to upload and post.

And Definitely Not from the Daytona transport. Isn't that one a Front drive??

I see a Standard type tranny on this

It's from the AMT 1962 Ford Falcon kit.

Good looking motor, nice piece in a custom.

[Jantrix]

It's from the AMT 1962 Ford Falcon kit.

That was my thought too. It's definitely not a Chevy.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Cool. Do you want to part with it?

[Edsel-Dan]

Thanks for the info.

Not sure about trading it though.

Since I have one of the Hot-Rod/Street Machine Ranchero kits

with the hood opened and the 'Chevy' engine, and you say this is from an

Original Annual AMT 62 Falcon, I may have to put it in that!!

It would be correct.

Or how about in a 66 Mustang??

[Ace-Garageguy]

Yup, same idea. I've got a Falcon kit with no engine, wanted to do a replica of one of my dad's cars. Trying to get a line on a resin copy, but if that flames out, would you even consider letting me copy yours ?

I can easily deal with "no" by the way, and would understand completely.

[Edsel-Dan]

That is Not a bad idea. (AS long as I got it back!)

There is not fan, but that is no big deal.

They can be found in Many kits after all!!

And what does the air cleaner look like??

There was no chrome one in the parts the engine was in.

Would you want it as is, or dis-assembled?
