Bullybeef Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 I see these engine stands pop up in a lot of build threads. What kits did they come in?
Oldcarfan27 Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Pretty sure they came from the old Trophy Series kits of the 60s. Because the kits came with 2 engines - 1 was for the car and the extra one was for the stand.
Misha Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 If I recall correctly the stands are in the 34 Ford pick-up and the 36 Ford. Perhaps others as it was such a generic fit for the flathead motor. Cheers Misha
Muncie Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 kind of off the original topic here... but it looks like a good place. AMT engineered the stock and optional engines in the trophy series Fords with mounts in the some location so the that they could be swapped around between kits - more information here. Some of these kits also had the engine stand. What "Classic" AMT Kits Had Interchangeable Engines? - Model Building Questions and Answers - Model Cars Magazine Forum

Paul Payne Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 The Revell parts pack show display had a chrome 2 piece engine stand. I use mine a lot. I'll post a pic when I get a minute.

As was mentioned, they were made with "universal" type mounts, that way you could interchange the Small Block Chevy from the 32 Ford Coupe, the Chrysler Hemi from the 32 Ford Roadster, the MEL engine from the 32 Victoria, the Tri-power FE Ford engine from the 34 Ford pickup, the Pontiac engine from the 36 Ford, the Olds engine from the 39/40 Ford sedan, and the Nailhead Buick from the 40 Ford Coupe. Any of these kits should still have them in the kit. May have a few "spares" if you need... Hope this helps DJ 1
deuces wild Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 The new 3n1 amt Nova wagon kit has one... Yep! The one with the trailer...??
slusher Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 The 49 Mercury has an engine stand in the kit… 1
