Read several threads, but still not sure the best way to run a PCV on a 66 292 with aftermarket valve cover. I like the look of the 2 90 degree...
jcmarz, haha I know right. How many fords have a Chevy lurking under the hood. But the 300 is a real standout in the inline 6 group I think....
I'll keep the thread alive - anybody have a line on good machine shops in the southeast that have the knowledge and "tricks" to handle a 235 with...
At the risk of getting blasted, wondering if anyone has tried putting a Ford inline 6 300 in a 49-52 Chevy car? Was going to use a 56 235 to...
Anybody ever used a tri five spare tire well in a 49-54? It looks like the tri five is not completely symmetrical, but rather has more of a curve...
yeah I was thinking the wife's machine should be able to sew burlap and we could replicate these pouches ourselves. I have already painstakingly...
stanlow, I got into the rear seat bottom tonight and see what you mean. I removed about 100 hog rings and discovered that each of the springs is...
OK thanks guys. I will save the thin metal rods in case. I just didn't want to tear it apart til I had a better understanding of how a current...
Moving along with the 49 Chevy build, removed the seats and started tearing them down to bare bones. My question is, what's the purpose of all...
Good information, thanks guys. And yes atomic, that does make it a little more simple. I have to tear the car down completely anyway, so hood...
I have searched but not found exactly what I am looking for. I know you can remove the entire front clip as one piece. Assuming you remove the...
curbfeeler, thanks for the advice. I am looking to make a reliable/driveable car for weekends and shows and such - no 1/4 mile stuff. But, in...
retro, I am in Bham AL area. I have a 235 w/848 head ready to build but might need some parts or be interested in some other inline stuff. shoot...
Hey guys, anyone know of some knowledgeable folks within a few hours of central AL for my Chevy 235 build? I've searched and read alot, and just...
I figured I couldn't get lucky enough to use this 3rdgen rear. But hey, can sell it off and find a donor easy enough I imagine.
Almost forgot about this post. The project has been on hold anyway. Yes, Langdon's has lots of good info. I suppose I am still just a bit...
OK guys, I found a nice donor 235 from a 56 truck complete with transmission and foot starter. I want to put this into my 49 car. Still trying...
Thanks airhead, that's what I wasn't sure about. just a wild thought after i found a straight 8 that I could get for next to nothing. probably...
Anybody have any info on the possibility of swapping out my 49's 216 for something a little out of the ordinary - like a Buick straight 8, or...
I actually think a switch to a turbo 350 is what I will do. The factory shifter on top of the column with it's extra tube is really cool....
Yes, it would make an awesome custom. But, it is so complete and being a one owner family car I just couldn't stand to cut it up. The older I...
Hey folks, new guy here from Bham area. Just went and picked up my 49 Chevy. My wife's great grandfather bought it new in 49. It had been under...
