Wanted - 1/35 scale truck engine + a 3D printer guy

[Austanker]

I need a 1/35 scale engine for a 1968 Peterbilt semi truck , haven't had much luck on the web maybe someone has something I can use it doesnt have to be 100% accurate

also

Does anyone have a 3D printer and can make me 6 x large Pelican cases missile sized, preferably in Australia or a postal friendly nation
see reference pic

How about a 1/25 car engine?
Should look the part in a 1/35 truck chassis?
I can send you parts for either a straight six or a v8.

You can ask the designer to do it in different scales, this one is 1/10, so a smaller scale should be cheaper.

That's an idea I'll have a look at those scales, cheers

Yes I spent a bit of time looking at sites like this didn't really find the right design I wanted

Which model of Peterbilt as it appears that both Cummins and Caterpillar
I-6 diesels were used in 1968. The do look different from car engines.

Cat 1674 and 1693, note that they're turbo-charged:


Cummins NTC350, also turbo-charged:

Cheers , I don't have any details at all apart from the type of truck plus there are no pics of the actual engine so I can have some license here

It wouldn't be too hard to dress up the 1/25 AMT Chevrolet six to look like the Cummins.

Alternatively Miniart do a number of 1/35 tank engines.
For example.

Which might look good powering a 1/25 hot rod.
