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

I have posted these pictures on stovebolt.com before, so I appologize to those that have seen these before.

Here are some shots of my 1960 235 that is in my 1940 Chevy truck.

WOW---Lots of off the wall answers, HUH?----Seriously, Tex Smith of Magazine fame, could answer that one for you, email him thru Hot Rod, Rod & Custom Magazines. Since his marriage to an Australian Lady, he divides his time between fishing in Wyoming & Australia 6 months alternating.----Don

 

65 super van 240 straight six , c4 trans runs great enough power for what I need and very reliable

 

My fifty ford has a 226 flat 6 with 3 one barrel carbs, and i'm looking for a knudsen aluminum head. It's not how fast you go, but how you go fast.

 

I've got a 235 in my '49 Chevrolet Coupe. It's been built by Dode Martin, using an Offenhauser dual intake, Fenton split exhaust manifold, Schneider 3/4 race cam. It runs great and I like the sound through the glasspacks. Mileage to be figured out, as I own the car since a few weeks.

 

got a Studebaker six and******* with OD free for the taking

 

'58 235. Race cam, 30 over bore job. Fully built and ballanced. Fenton 2 carb intake, Fenton split exhaust.

I have 2 of them. One built and the other about to be built. One is going in my 53 Chevy the other is going in my 31 Ford Pickup.

 

My altered is a clone of Steve Ambrose's NHRA record holder. It has a 300 Ford w/ a crossflow head.

 

I guess I could mention my '33 Willys ex-gasser I found on the East Coast. I power it w/ a 305 Ford inline. See it at the Thompson Gasser Reunion.

 

And my homebuilt RPU. Also steel body fabbed using a '24 Chevy Cowl and the top half of a '27 Chevy grille shell. 300 Ford six.

Hah! A Ford six powered Chevy!

 

And my son's steel '48 Anglia. 240 Ford six powered. He's on the West Coast - keeps the car back here . When he comes home to visit we love to tear it up at the strip.

 

And another one under construction:
'30s era champ car:

 

plymouth flathead

218 cubes
offy intake
fenton style headers
double barrel carbs

 

hah no rolling car to put it in yet tho

 

1953 Plymouth Cranbrook. All stock now but I see parts in my future.

 

I brought home a Chevy Six out of a '66 Chevy II yesterday!

I do not know the CID yet.... but in a 1700-2000# HotRod, it should just sip-gas........

 

Here's my Six cylinder in my '53 Chevy


It has a very rare Rajo 6 head which allows it to run the secondary Rajo intake and thrid carb.

Here is a quick youtube of it last week when I got new exhaust on it:

It is in this car:


Here are some posts I have made previously about finding the Rajo and the work I have done to the engine and the car since I acquired it last fall:

What is this whole Rajo 6 about?

Take a 189" Stude flathead six, add a Buick turbo-Regal intake and shake it up....
240 hp/290 ft lbs torque, two bonneville records.....

 

37 chevy pick up. 292 6cyl with balancing, rv cam, lump ported milled head, and a 300cfm holley on an offy manifold. Runs good and lights up the tires.......Think I'll go back to a one or two barrel carb at $4/gal.

 

i run a 292 in mine, bored, built, ported and polished head, big valves, crane roller rockers, precision engine service tall ram intake, 750 dual line d/p holley, clifford headers and v/c! muncie 4 speed.

 

here we are fixin to blow little cuz off the backstretch! lol

 

I have a 1962 235 in my 54 chevy.I love those 235's.Split manifold,dual carbs(I had 3 at one point,but I wasn't too crazy about it) and it sounds great with the dual Smithy's.

 

Yep - our 50' Chevy Fleetline has a straight 6 in it - and we are going to rod out the stock one for a 261!

 

The 52 has still got the old Splash Fed.

 

Found these pictures and wanted to post them here. Couldn't find this thread so posted them elseware. Now I'm reposting. Twin turbo 270 GMC and Howard 12 port 302 GMC

 

Here's my 200 in my 62 Falcon:
