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

I don't think of this one as a hot rod.

But it is powered with a 215" with some speed goodies.

Its a fun one.

 

"I wish I could find a bug catcher like that to fit my 3x4 tunnel ram intake set-up "

Why not fab one up:

 

'47 Deluxe,
'54 Chrysler 264,dual Webers on Dodge truck intake&headers

 

Yeah I thought about it Frenchtown Flyer I have fab most everything else up for it. Intake side cover and what knots, What one more piece right. LOL I really like the old blower type to. I am getting kinda bored with this one. Just like anything else In need or More different lol. when it come to the air cleaner / air intake.

 

That's nice.
Thanks for allowing the rest of us to partake in the glory of your rod.

In case anyone is interested in knowing how to plumb to and from the water jacket on there intake have a look here http://www.stevesnovasite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=222483

 

Hey. here is my 216" with offenhauser dual intake, rochester carbs. and fenton headers. It drives very cool but needs a little paint, and clean up. It would look good with a aluminum valve cover and maybe some other aircleaners. Where do you buy your performance stuff for your 216"??? it have to be someone who is willing to send it to Denmark. Andreas from Denmark

 

That is one clean '53. Don't think I've seen but a few of them in my 67 years. NEAT ! !

 

Stay Inline!

 

I have a 230 in my 63 Chevy II. Pretty much stock right now (except for the intake and headers), but I do have a fairly worked over 250 that may find it's way under the hood eventually. Right now the 230 is backed up by an S-10 5 speed and hopefully the car will see road time by spring 2015

 

The 215" I have is a Ford engine. It was in production only 2 years then replaced by the 223".
Speedway Motors shows manifolds and headers for the Chevy 216" I don't know if they ship to Denmark. It might be a place to start your search.

Old build 300, probably OT. In Classifieds now..

 

Just curious - has anyone tried to fab up F.I for your straight 6? I'm thinking (in particular) stock GM TBI on a Chevy six.

 

Thanks, It is a great road tripper. Lots of room to carry stuff.

Hey 6narow,I was talking to somebody from Howell Engineering? the other day at Louisville and they have done some of those with the GM TBI

 

Here's an 11 second in-liner with way to much carburetor???

 

This may be OT but here is some info. In 2008 we put a GM TBI with a megasquirt on the 270 GMC in my '53 Chevy pickup as a demo at the Inliners International picnic at Bonneville. It was just a demo and I put the carb back on later. The wire harness was pulled from a van and had way too many wires. We had it running in less than a hour dur to some prep work. We didn't get to drive it because the fuel line would not stay attached. It's really pretty simple. Others have done it with the computer from a V6. You might try a search here. http://www.inliners.org/

Cool, I'll have to check them out.
Thanks! =)
I was just wondering how hard that conversion would be.
Seems like a good way to make many improvements to the engine, all in one fell swoop.
...btw, I meant to qualify that question for ANY Chevy straight 6, from '29 onwards.

six ball,

Thanks for the links! Much appreciated. =)
How did the engine run once the conversion was complete?
Did it seem to start any easier and idle smoother?

Nah, thems small carbs..

 

Actually I was kidding aroud . There's about 1300cfm available to that Ford and it seems to love it all.

 

Here's another inliner (not a racer) but still scoots along pretty good.

Like I said it was just a demonstration. It fired right up but we had a vacuum leak and it would not idle. We had a temporary fuel tank with a return line in the bed of the pickup and the fuel pump blew the gas line off a few times. It ran strong once the computer whiz made some settings but we didn't get to drive it. I had to put the carb back on in the dark with a borrowed baby flash light.

 

I LOVE your six. That valve cover is freakin bad a$$!

 

Ok. I thought maybe you had it run long enough to get it warm.
Sounds more like you set it up, just to prove the concept.
Very cool that you even attempted that.
Thanks for the comments. Much appreciated.

like the 200 in the Mav.... mine runs pretty good but is a long way from 11s

 

I am a proud inliner......like to wear this to the cruise ins....always someone asking questions about the six.... makes me easier to find.....

 

Thank you. I will look at the speedway motors homepage. They are a big company, so i think they will send it to Denmark. I bought a lot of things for a model A coupé i was having for some years ago, but at that time a friend of mine was working over there, and he filled a container with parts, and send it home to Denmark

 

How much power do you guys think a little 216" with offenhauser dual intake, rochester carbs., fenton headers and dual exhaust, will make? and how many mpg? any experience with this setup? how will it work with the 4 barrel carb. intake setup?

 

I've got a stock 223 Ford six.
Beautiful setups guys, congratulations.

 

dkWayfarer50,
This will be a better source for Offenhauser parts. Exeter Auto Supply is a HAMB alliance supplier. They might know a re-seller in Denmark
