Technical Assembly manual for a 1937 Chevy 216 6 cyl?

Anyone know where I could find an ***embly manual for a 216 straight 6 out of a 1937 Chevy Car? Looking for more details on the oiling system, and torque specs, etc. Thanks

 

What do you have now?

 

As far as manuals, nothing right now. I viewed some online stuff about ***embly, but didn't have torque specs for stuff like mains/rods. The engine has been machined for shelled bearings for the mains/rods, so I don't think I need shims anymore for the rods, but still do for the mains.

 

Get a 1937 Chevy Shop Manual. It'll have what you need and is available as a reprint from any of the antique Chevy vendors.

You could also check out a later Chevy shop manual, as the post war manuals included torque values.

 

Suggest you try to get a manual for 1937. There are more differences between '37 through '40 models than one would expect.

look here for several different manuals. Not much for torque values in the old days, but by the late 50s they had them pretty well all specified.

Yeah, I just found some reprints of a 37 manual online. Any specific post war year to look for to get a later manual for the torque specs?
Edit: Tree'd by squirrel. I'll look for a late 50's manual as well.

 

A good book to have beside the factory manual is a old "Motor" book (the blue book) Excellent information.
