6 cylinder engine for an AMT 53 F-100?

[jeaton01]

I am thinking about building this kit but it has a flathead V-8.  My pickup had the six.  Is there a source in 1/25?

I just happen to have a link from when I was searching that very subject. Not a lot of easy to get Fiord ones.

Thanks, I emailed Ken Kitchen. We'll see if that's still a possibility.

Another option is to get either the 66 or '69 F100 kits from Moebius. 

They both have what looks like a nice six, they are easy to find, probably cost less than an after market resin one and you have another truck kit you can throw something in.

Excellent, thank you.

Lotta stuff there, John.  Way too wild for the pickup I had in 1962!

I have ordered one of each of the kits just for the engines. I need one for my '76 Econoline project and one for my '58 Custom 300 (if I ever find a body).
