Who has a STRAIGHT 6 in your HotRod? Come On, stand up!

'59 F100 223

 

How’s this

 

I like that engine - the finned valve cover, the progressive linkage. What size Holleys?

If I owned your car I'd think it might be time to remove the graphics from the side though.

 

Dodge 230 cui.Offenhauser intake with Oldsmobile -41 carb.Split exhaust.

 

The Holleys are 280 cfm from 60 Mercs. Progressive linkage is designed and made by me. Some FE dual quad parts. The finned valve cover and side you don’t see are Tony Barons Thicksen repops. The car was repainted from black in 1980 and could not be all white to race on the salt. Very popular then to add graphics. If you noticed there is salt damage on a lot of places. It will be black again someday. Thanks

 

Love the sounds of 6 cylinders with split manifold and glass packs.

 

I love 40 Chevys! Cool car.

just went off to a new home in Mass, without the engine...!

 

I have been here since 07 And still Very Glad I joined And have seen many Awesome ride's over the years. I just did a re-tour of the page's past as you mite say. It is kinda sad to see that some of the photo's have faded away.

 

I do, 236 cubes of flathead dodge.

 

Sweet

 

I have 250 in the t-bucket and a 230 going into the 40 Chevy coupe!

my 41 is a hotrod in the truest sense .235 with split headers, and 2 coils off the frnt springs . syncros and 3.07 rear real soon , but fun with the crash box and 4.11s or what ever they are . hoping for low 20s in the 1/4 and 20 mpg ?my 50 wayfarer still has the 230 ,split manifold and 2.56 rear .hot rod ? 20 mpg !! sounds better than a chevy 6 ! to me !!!

 

292, .030 over, reworked head, slight cam, cast iron headers, dual exhaust, Holley 600cfm, 200-4R trans

 

I love those inline 6 engines! We have a daily driver '50 Chevy pickup, a '56 Chevy 150 2 door sedan street/strip car, and another '50 Chevy pickup that is a race truck - all with 292 inline six engines (and a stick, of course!)

 

This things still 235/3spd split manifold dual exhaust

Our friend Gary Breebecks cool 6 cylinder nostalgia altered running against our nostalgia altered

 

You should bring those to the Spring Thompson Gasser Reunion in NE Ohio. I usually race there. A match race of two inline powered altereds would be fun.

 

i luv the 60/61 ? built my last one with a 292 . ran grt., but sure not fast and with tall gears still no mpg . came to think 292 dont sound as good as 235 ! sbc next time %@&!

 

Vee belt driven fuel pump... love it. I’ve got 2 Algons that way.

 

Just sold this 1927 Model T Tudor ,300 with 4.80 cam , but have a 250 sexy six going into this with a 4 speed transmission with a ‘68 Camaro 12 bolt . But... sold those carbs so using these
