Any Chevy 3400 or 3800 motors?

Is there any scale versions in 1\24 - 1\25 of this motor? Or is there anything that resembles this motor? I have the Revell police impala I want to put it in. Here's a picture of my impala 3400, the one I'm really trying to model after. Or if anyone knows a good base kit I could use that would be helpful.

Not that I'm aware of in plastic model form. You might beable to source one from a diecast. Ebay would be your best bet.

The early 1990's Revell Pontiac Grad Prix had Front Engine six cylinder engine.

The 80's Fiero kit had a six cylinder engine as well with the FWD setup used as a RWD. The Fieros were issued by both MPC and Revell. Here are the Revell instructions:

You'd have to play with the intake manifold a bit. But, if you got the Grand Prix SE, you could adapt the whole front sub frame to the car.
