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

Just a teaser for ya'll...

 

So, its off to ebay??? Not to a real hot rodder but to the guy with the most gold?? so much for getting it into the right hands......

 

W

Yeah, because we all know there's a million stay at home moms on eBay this very moment saying, "That is just what I need for a table centerpiece this Thanksgiving!"

Who the hell else besides a "real hot rodder" would buy this? The captain of the fantasy football league at your work? Really dude?

 

I don't intend to get this thread OT, just thought some of you would appreciate what I was fortunate to come across.

 

Enough with the teasing!!! Buy the damn thing so we can see it put to good use!

 

boucher racing,
How about a little more info on that setup in the GMC. I'm currently working on a 65 chevy 1/2 ton, and possibly installing a 292.


Thanks
Brian

 

Just to keep the thread alive (and for my own self gratification)...... here are some new pics of my lump now that I've finally got it rebuilt and running right!

 

yes sir,, ill will be using the pontiac 6 and three speed manual. (23 t). its far from road yet ,, hope to add twins and headers ,, old school .. just for fun .. woohooo im excited

 

Got a smooth running 6 in my '57...this winter I'm hopin' to "wake it up" a little

 

i love em! OHC, oil cooled wrist pins, 6000 RPM all day and only 2.8 liter.
I have just picked up a few of the bigger M189 3.0 liter Mercedes engines which are alloy block and heads with mechanical fuel injection. The whole idea in my head is to build an engine that looks like a 1930's race engine . Mine are all 1966-1970 models .
heres one that picked up the F record in 2009 on the salt:

Me too - here's the Ford I'm working on disguising as a Duesenberg:

 

Anyone got more pictures of straight 6 would love to see some 302 GMC

 

Its been a while since ive posted on this page but here are some progress pic on the 292 for everone who isnt following my wagon build page

 

Not mine, but here is a couple of pics of a 302 powered Chevy I caught at the Super Secret Fun Run this summer.

 

Please don't post pics with giant copyright symbols super imposed on them. any usable detail is obscured. If you are that worried someone might take them and use them for commercial purposes, don't post them.

 

Wow...this thread was started in '04, and still going strong. Lotta love for them sixes!!
Have a 235 in the shop for my '48 AD. Currently still have the original running 216 in stock form...not for long!

 

I've had Rocky's old '41 Pontiac with a 239 in it for a number of years. Starts right up, , runs strong and smooth.

 

My rail ran deep into the 10"s with my blown 255. Won bowling green reunion in 05 , runner up in 06. Sold the car -kept the engine -yea I likem.I would love to have WOODPECKERS set up in my 51 1 ton pickup. My Blown motor is just to wild to use for that. HEY Woodpecker are you running one of Langdons adapters under that valve cover - Nice jobe all the way around .

 

If anybody is interested, this is a 30 second clip of my Dad's(onefordad on this forum) '51 Styleline.

how bout some details, there, badsix.

 

it's a 270 with a big port 302 head, forged pistons, mild blower cam hooked to a 700r4 trans and a 9 ni. ford with 370 gears. i just pulled the engine this winter to disassemble and check things out. its about 8 years old and has about 20 thousand mi.. the engine runs real strong and has been farly trouble free other than one head gasket and eating cams. but i have that under control, i have been useing the wrong lifters and going to an oil with zinc in it.i don't have any 1/4 mi. times but it has SHOCKED a lot of big v-8s on the hiway. seems like they all want to play with you

 

I like the supercharger!

 

Here is the 250 in my 50 Chevrolet

 

1962 Chevy 235-inline six-cylinder engine.The engine was bored 60 over Clifford special cam 272/490 has a great idle. Wayne valve cover and side cover. Offernhauser dual carb intake with two Holley-Weber carbs. It has a 1954 Chevy Corvette dual exhaust manifold. With dual exhaust system. It also has Two Lake Pipes below the driver side front fender that can be opened up!
