Projects 235 Chevy build up

I have a 235 in my 57 Chevy pickup. It runs great and has never left me walking. But it used about 3 quarts of oil in the last 150 miles. So it's time for a rebuild. Does anybody have any ideas on how to get some more power out of it but still be able to tow a little Picture of the pickup

Go to Inliners International website www.inliners.org.

Lots of info there

 

Also try www.stovebolt.com website. Check the forum under HiPo. There you will find tons of info. I have a 235 in my 46 1/2 ton with a t5 5 speed and a 377 chevy rear, duel carbs and Fenton headers that I learned how to adapt to my 46 1/2 ton all from this site.

 

Thanks everybody. Hoping to just boost the power up a little but still driveable in the end

Increased compression will wake up a 235. A good way to bump the compression is to deck the block. I decked my 235 to the top of the pistons. The gasket provides the necessary piston to head clearance. This provides a better quench situation than milling the head only. Good compression and reduced tendency for detonation. I also adapted an HEI ignition, used a mild cam and a progressive 2 bbl carb. It's a strong running 235.
