Who has a STRAIGHT 6 in your HotRod? Come On, stand up!

I'm trying to decide what to put under the hood of my 48 F1 and have started looking at Ford 240/300s.

Any thoughts on those things? I *love* inline 6's.

 

F.Y.I. if anyone is interested there's a 40's ford flathead 6 with a 3 speed top loader trans for sale....all fresh rebuilt ready to just drop in.... it's at larry's automotive on fair oaks blvd in sac ca... I don't know the price.. and by the way larry is a little grumpy til he gets to know ya.. but after a few minuts he warms right up.... oh and he's got a bunch of other stuff like carbs.. other motors... axles.. trannys... all old stuff... 40's-70's i just thought i'd throw this out in case anyone is looking....

 

Here's a nice pic

 

SWEET

 

My latest ride ('49 Chevy) came equipped with a '70 Nova 250 six, PG and rearend. I don't know what the rear gear is though (any guesses?).
It curreently has a single barrel carb but plans are for a 2x1 intake, Pertronix ignition and a 350 Turbo. It already has split manifold and duels.
I'm hoping this will wake it up a little and give me a little more off the line.

 

Well here it is this is the motor in my 29 roadster
NO it not datsun(nissan) it's ********.

 

MERCEDES 280

Any WEBSITES to check out for 6 cylinder optional engines?

 

one that I've found, ai't checked it out too much yet...

thats WILD Mr.Dean. how old is that motor?? not bad lookin with that aluminum valve cover and all. whats the trans and is that a stock intake or something "custom"???

 

Here's my crusty '66 Ford PU 300. Chevy 1.94 intakes, 2 500's, Pertronix, AOD. It's interesting I sent the pic to Inliners when they were looking for filler and a mag in Australia did an article on the site and used my pic. So I have a magazine car! Also note the extension for the brake light switch when I converted to dual master and disc brakes. Seemed easier than splicing the harness.

 

Thanks CROW !!!!!

 

the motor is a 1970 280
intake is stock
got rid of orig.carbs
put on dual webers
the valve cover is off an early
1960's 230

 

Here's mine,
1929 Chev straight 6 got dual carbs for it & plan to build extractors out of a Model A torque tube.
Car, '29 Chev tourer that I'm converting to a Boattail Speedster using a truck bonnet.


I think those linkages may be Indian Motorcycle (?), as my Paasie (Grandfather) Owned one.

 

thats wild man, keep us posted on that project. don't see to many (if any) real early Chevy 6s done up and about as many boattail rods too...

[/ QUOTE ] Cheers Mate! for compliments I'll post a couple of pics

here is my $50 Chev body.


& truck bonnet for the tail section.

Story a bit O/T , I'll post a couple of pics of other straight 6s that I have for other projects later today

 

Here is one of my other striaght sixes. It's out of a early sixties Vauxhall (GM) Cresta and has a 12port head so should be able to pull some extra neddies without too much work. Standard they put out 85hp from 138ci so I'm holding on to it for a future build.

 

Give me new ones boys

 

Old pic of mine before striping and small changes.
Chev 250 with 4 barrel (soon to be 2-94's), header and power glide. I love it.

 

Since this post started I've got my car on the road and driven it 1500 miles. The 250/TH200R4 combo is working nicely on the whole. I'm getting about 28 MPG city. No road trips yet.

 

When I ever finish my current project, my next one will be powered a 235 six. A buddy of mine gave me an old 235 that must be rebuilt. He also gave me a McGurk intake for it. Last week he called and said he found the carbs and linkage for it too! I asked how much and he said to buy him a beer sometime. His dad was into sixes and left him a lot of stuff that doesn't interest him.
