Boxer 6 but still a 6!






Or more traditionally a nice Blueflame that is eventually destined for a 58 Nomad project.

Very cool weathering on the engines!

Thanks. They are from my Cars I Used to Own series so that means they are old, tired and dirty just like the real things were.

Not a six but one of the dirtiest.

Straight 4 out of one of these!

Some of my 6 cylinder builds...A little different and probably not at all what you were thinking. BUT, there is the leaning tower of power in my Mom's Duster 

[406 Silverado]

These are all good looking examples fellas.

Tojo72: Is that your's? If so, you've been holdin' out on us man.

Were's Lee (aka midnightprowler) when you need him the most? This guy has a TON of in-line six cylinder builds.

Yup.....there's Lee!

I've got a 32 Chevy too if I can find the pictures. May have to take new ones.

I’m blown away with all the love given to the 6 cylinder engines on this thread! I have a small stash of 6 cylinder engines that are waiting for future projects. In the meantime I’ll see if I can pull out two of my 6 cylinder builds and post them here.

The poor old six is not given much love in the modeling world. Sort of sad since in most real car cases they outnumbered the eights by a pretty good margin.

Here’s some pictures of my first 6 cylinder build…well at it still has most of it’s 6 cylinder! 😉

[ak]

This one is a newer build, but I don’t remember how long ago….maybe 10 years(?) WOW, look at the dust! 1957 150 Utility Sedan.

[ak]

lol! It wasn’t until after I took these that I realized it’s not finished! 🤷I have to get the headlights , wipers and rest of the bits on it before I put it back away!🤔

 Here's a custom 51 Chevy I built that has a six with side draft carbs and headers.

[ak]

Sweet chop on that 51!

Nice build Alan. Did this kit come with a 6cyl.?

[ak]

No. The engine is from the AMT ‘60 Chevy pick up kit.
