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

Raprap, that is a sweetsweet ride, with and without the skirts. 292 is my engine of choice. db

 

My Avatar runs a 250 cube 6 and auto, stock as a rock, just a cruiser.

 

Rap, good ta see ya.

 

n.z.,
Nuthin' wrong with the stock motor.
Any of the late American sixes are very sweet little runners, especially in stock form.

Your avatar - that's a '47?

Nice ride. Congrats on building such a nice rod.

292 clifford intake and 4 barrel...and some other stuff. Gary Brown @ Browns Metal Mods is making it all come true. And I would like to Thank Gary and Dylan for working so hard!

 

Hi Guys,

It's a 1970 292 from a Suburban, .040 over, 270 Wolverine cam, ported, polished, offy intake with 3 Holley-Webers, Langdon headers, Pertronics Distrib, Water heated intake.
The 1940 Chevy coupe has been thoroughly massaged; Bonneville chop (3.5" front and 4" rear, laid down rear window, angled b pillars) nosed, decked, frenched 39 tail LED T-lights, louvered hood, vintage air, T-5 OD, 3:55 Nova Posi rear, Zig's 2" dropped Mustang II front with 11" discs, Diamond back WWW radials, 205-60 15 fronts & 275-78 15 rears!

Gets 20MPG on highway at 1950 RPMS! Straight 2 1/2" exhaust system with chambered mufflers and 6" tips! Neighbors hate when I come home late!

heres mine toar down now for a revamp before the round up this year

 

All of my OT vehicles have inline-sixs

the 1973 Land Cruiser has a newer (1977) 2F which is basically a copy of the GM 235/292. Not many of the GM parts bolt right over, but it is a really close copy. I have in the past tried to convert it to TBI using a Holley ProJection kit on top of an Offy 4bbl conversion intake. For a while it worked, but something went bad in the computer and I put the carb back on and have no thoughts of re attempting the TBI again. As for hot-rodding it.....It has a header, electronic ignition with an MSD 6A, and the mechanical fan replaced with an electric one. No real HP, but has a ton of torque on the bottom end.

The DD truck is a Cummins 6BT with some add-ons. Gets 20mpg+

Another OT vehicle with the OE inline-6

The 1940 Ford is getting an 8BA though.

 

love the look of a 6 decked out it brings bach that early hot rod look

 

so this is my 235 that is in my 54.
has been bored .60 over, head was milled .125, block was machined for full flow oil filter, howard rough idle cam,
fentons were jet hot coated (however if I were to do it again I would take the time to clean up the castings and chrome them...)
then the motor was painted HOK kandy gold and was pinstripped but unfortunately no one but me will ever know it is there...

offy 2pot with carter yf's all hooked up to a 58 biscayne 3 spd with a borg warner electric overdrive

and for the record nothing says whoop ass like chirping 2nd with a inline six and a 3 on the tree!

 

Chevy 194/4sp. going into my new-to-me '48 F1... Not Rod.

 

Go BIG !

 

Ford 300 straight six going going into 31 Chrysler.

 

swapping out the 216 in my 48 for a 230 and open drive non-synchro 3spd....I love that grinding noise going back to low gear! peace

 

235 .030 over, new seats, and a PG. I can get 23mpg out of it but i usually don't.

 

Nice. Is that an Aussie head or an Argie head on there?

 

He runs a stock Ford U-flow head. Bad-ass 10 second Comet! Its a 300 destroked to 272.

 

THANKS FTF for the complements... It's a stock type head that was ported by Jerry Arnold (comp guy) that help me into the 10's...

 

Really six gun you do have one awsome Ride

 

Here's my little 6 235 in my '47 Chevy PU, stock with color liberties and a little creative copper winding.

 

Got 2 of them in the works. 47 Dodge pickup with the 230 Flatty,dual carbs, split exhaust, 48 Chevy truck waiting for the 292 I have on the engine stand with 4bbl intake and headers. Want to get some info on a cam and pistons for the 292.

 

Runnin original [re-built] l-head 6 in the '36 and love rollin thru all 3 gears to cook her up to 50 mph in 30 sec. Flat...she's a runner!

 

Thanks I Appreciate that alot....

 

Chevy 250 in my roadster....

 

Will have the original but prettied up 144 3 on the tree in my 62 Ranchero for the Roundup, all I'll be able to brag about is the gas mileage.

 

thanks bro!

she's getting there

 

My 54 has a 230 six, offy intake w/ Holly 600, Comp Cam and runs great and sounds even better

 

Use the 3rd gear synchros... let me start agin, shift into third before shifting into first and you won't grind, been doing that for ten years daily driver only vehicle, see you at the Jalopy Showdown.
