Engine Manual Chevy 235 - Does one exist?

I'm just starting to get the ball rolling on my 1956 Chevy Truck and have the 235 engine and 3spd tranny pulled. Is there any kind of printed manual out there that exists for Disassembly & Reassembly of a 235 engine?

Ive checked stovebolt, inliners, webrodder, Hamb, etc...but dont see where a manual like this exists. I have the 1956 Truck Owners Manual and the 1955-59 Truck Factory Assembly Manual, but neither get into the details about the engine. Id rather not post a million questions about torque specs, removing this and that, clearances, etc, etc if I can first find them myself.

Thanks for helping a newb on his 1st inline-6.

 

Here's an online version of the factory service manual...

heh...can't get much closer than that!

I prefer the printed version, it's more convenient in the shop. I've found used ones pretty reasonably priced on epay. new reprints are around $20-30?

 

The manual above is probably your best bet. This link below is pretty good too. At the very least you'll get to know your stovebolts a little better. Cesar

Gezuz, guess I looked in all the wrong places...thanks for the quick reply! Is there any way to print the entire manual w/o having to print page-by-page-by-page?

Thanks again for the quick help guys! I'm sure I'll post more questions.

 

Like I said, I'd buy one.....but I already have the 57 and 58 truck manuals, as well as the 55 car manual.

Computers are a hassle

 

I did some searching on eGay and found the '55 Truck Shop Manual....but I also see a '56 Truck Suppliment Manual. Should I buy both of these manuals?

I prefer hard copy manuals versus hauling my laptop around the garage.

 

You can buy a '55 manual for $19 and a '56 supplement for $12 from here...

These guys, by the way, are a great place to get parts. They have the best prices and good service.

 

56 supplement probably does not really have anything extra that you'd need to rebuild a 56 engine, if you have the 55 manual. Or get the 57 manual....

 

MoToRs manuals are good bet as well.

 

Thanks guys for your help & recommendations.
Ive got manuals ordered & on the way.

 

I have a bunch of old grease stained ones myself and some other manuals so I'm covered back as far as 1939 with my library. Motors was by far the best thing next to the factory issued manuals.

Just amazing what you can get online now and less the greasy paw prints.

yeah, it's amazing.

 

i remember copying a manual 30 years ago for rebuilding a 235 at the library. you can find manuals at www.chevytalk.com
