I guess I'll have to add to my parts needed list. It's crazy how the 54 and 53 look so similar, then you go to swapping parts...
I put '54 tail lights in my '53 chevy. One of the bulb sockets does not fit, too small. The hole is 1 1/2". Am I missing something on my...
216 will run if bottle fed, but will not pump fuel on its own. No blockages in line. Tried the fuel pump that was on the motor. Then tried the...
That would actually depend on the specific build date in my dads case :)
My dad called today and said he messed with it and got it working, but also said it was still acting up at times. Looks like I should go with a...
I've searched the forums...looks like the linkages are usually to blame. The rear lever of my tranny will not move by hand (with linkages off and...
A guy said he would give me some like new wheel cylinders and brake hoses off of a 1956 Chevy sedan for my 1953 Chevy sedan... If they will work?...
Thread looks a little dead, but I'd like to throw out that I'm in the market for an orange flake for my '53 chevy if anyone is willing to part...
Are they located in the holes of the x member?
Sorry, Chevy sedan. 216 w/ a 3speed

I'd buy all three if it was within a couple hours drive. Memphis is obviously a ghost town for 235s...

Came across what looks to be a good deal on a caddy engine out of a '61 de ville with the trans still attatched. I'd love to drop something like...
Yes. I'm looking to trade the 14" chrome with baby moons for some steelies to paint black and pop on some spider caps
I agree. But 235 will require me to drive an hour to get it and most likely will be more expensive, and probably has not ran in forever, so I'll...
Thanks guys. Sounds like I'll go with the 235. I'm not looking to dive into a bunch of mods to make a 6 fit. Looking just to get her going ASAP....
Gotta replace the locked up 216 in my '53 Chevy. Found a guy that has 292s and 235s. Would it be worth the 292? Any problems I'll run into with...
