Really enjoying this thread. Good to see some inline 6 love. Have one in my C-10.
Since I'm a "f-ing new guy" I gotta ask. Is there a similar picture thread here for 4-bangers?

 

GRX, welcome. I'm sure if you do a search for "banger" threads there should be several.Also search for threads on the Antique Nationals ,lots of cool 4 & 6 cylinder stuff there aswell.

VERY NICE Keep it in a safe place. It will bring back many memories in years to come.

 

Does anyone remember a six cylinder Plymouth Valiant Wagon, a light brownish color that raced the Detroit area in the middle sixties. It was a father and son effort by the last name of Moore. Mr. Moore was ahead of the Plymouth Dealers Troubleshooting Competition that took place in those days. Thanks...Mike

 

Far out! How quick did you run?

 

First good pass of the year, ran 11.53/113mph, I still have some tuning to do...

 

Gday this is my EH Holden

It has a N/A 202ci I6, DCOE Weber carb's, Supra 5 speed and a Ford 9 inch
It has run 12.15 @ 109.7 MPH with plenty more to come.

 

That's one beautiful EH. Aussie rules! Go man Go!

 

No scanner here for pics but from the Shop Rag mag number 2: "This deuce roadster was owned by Chaparrals member Herschel Prickett. Herschel was a mechanic and his dad worked at the Ford assembly plant in Dallas. His engine was a flathead 6 Ford truck engine with Knudson head and 3-2 intake. The engine used Jahns pop-up pistons, Clay Smith cam, had the main bearings strapped and would turn 7000 rpm on alcohol."

 

Thanks Scott
