Need engine reference photos please.......

[cruz]

Hey guys, anyone of you know where I can get real reference photos for the engine of this model truck or similar? Sites? Links?

The engine in this kit is a Caterpillar 1160 which is the predecessor to the 3208. I believe Ford designated this a V200 (or something like that). Depending on the year that you are modeling (the kit is a 1973 or so), the engine should be Ford Blue or New Caterpillar Yellow.

Here's mine in Ford Blue (same kit, by the way):

A radiator brace was added after this photo was taken.
