Really enjoying this thread. Good to see some inline 6 love. Have one in my C-10.
Since I'm a "f-ing new guy" I gotta ask. Is there a similar picture thread here for 4-bangers?

 

GRX, welcome. I'm sure if you do a search for "banger" threads there should be several.Also search for threads on the Antique Nationals ,lots of cool 4 & 6 cylinder stuff there aswell.

VERY NICE Keep it in a safe place. It will bring back many memories in years to come.

 

Does anyone remember a six cylinder Plymouth Valiant Wagon, a light brownish color that raced the Detroit area in the middle sixties. It was a father and son effort by the last name of Moore. Mr. Moore was ahead of the Plymouth Dealers Troubleshooting Compe***ion that took place in those days. Thanks...Mike

 

Far out! How quick did you run?

 

First good p*** of the year, ran 11.53/113mph, I still have some tuning to do...

 

Gday this is my EH Holden

It has a N/A 202ci I6, DCOE Weber carb's, Supra 5 speed and a Ford 9 inch
It has run 12.15 @ 109.7 MPH with plenty more to come.

 

That's one beautiful EH. Aussie rules! Go man Go!

 

No scanner here for pics but from the Shop Rag mag number 2: "This deuce roadster was owned by Chaparrals member Herschel *****ett. Herschel was a mechanic and his dad worked at the Ford ***embly plant in Dallas. His engine was a flathead 6 Ford truck engine with Knudson head and 3-2 intake. The engine used Jahns pop-up pistons, Clay Smith cam, had the main bearings strapped and would turn 7000 rpm on alcohol."

 

Thanks Scott
