Technical 49 Chevy Fleetline Deluxe

I had a chance a couple years ago to talk to one of my heroes, Tom Langdon. I'm a huge 216 fan, and I asked him a couple questions about building one.

He looked me dead in the eye and said,"Why? Scrap it and get a 235!"

I felt like Ralphie when Santa said "You'll shoot your eye out!"

I still want to build a full race California Bill style 216 someday, Langdon be damned!

Good luck with yours!

 

Here is some good info on 235 oiling
