HELP! new here and bought a 52 chevy

Hello everyone, so I'm new on this forum and I have a 1952 Chevrolet 3100. It has a later model inline 6 in it now with a manual trans on the floor. I searched and found a thread with engine codes on here but mine didn't match up. It says "392968" there is a "3921968" which is a 64-72 inline 230-250. I also found a mark reading CON F 13 9. Im trying to find out the year and size of the motor to buy a water pump and belt. please help. thanks

 

Welcome buddy. Make sure you do an intro thread or the old dudes around will get violent kn you.

 

I just did hahaha thanks

 

Can you post a pic of the motor? 230-250 64-72 or so would all take the same WP. ask for one for a 70 Nova. Valve cover sides are not straight on those engines 216-235 sides of cover are basicaly straight.

 

ill be able to tomorrow afternoon. So if I just go to autozone say I want a pump for a 70 nova with an inline 250 in it? what size belt?

 

Where did u get the number from? Cylinder head or block?

still no pics.

 

Really Lobucrod?

 

Ginger, check ur engine # again. Then pull the water pump if its on there and take it to match up with a new one. You should be able to pick one up at autozone or online. Good luck with ur new project!
& welcome to the hamb

 

I sent the pics to my e mail. then right clicked and copied the URL. Then pasted the URL in the insert image ****on. wonder why they didn't show up

 

Yean.....Really.

 

hey I need all the help I can get haha me and my girlfriend are trying to surprise my parents on their anniversary on the 4th so Im really trying to order parts and get this thing going.

 

Block #3921968 is a 64-76 Chevy or Olds and it was used for both 230 and 250 engine. The water pump is the same. The belt will depend on what the belt runs,AC,alternator, power steering. Two more good sites for you are http://www.inliners.org/ and http://www.stovebolt.com/

 

Theres a few different ways to post pics. Check out the questions forum and find a way that works for you.

Because they're in your Google account and we can't access them here.

 

I really appreciate all the help. Just picked up a water pump. Whats the best way to flush the system and not ruin the new pump. Also what type of coolant. Just any 50/50?

 

At this point pull the thermostat and run hose in thru there until water runs clean from pump hole. Wrap a rag around the garden hose and put in to lower radiator outlet run until water is clean looking from top rad outlet. That is about all you can do at this point. Yes regular antifreeze 50-50 is fine.

 

Check out stovebolt.com there is a lot of helpful info on older Chev and GMC trucks.

 

heres my 52. hope I figured out my picture posting problem haha

 

Ah, there's the picture we've all been waiting for!

Very nice looking truck. Already lowered with a great stance.
