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

I watched Lynn building that truck...........pretty cool. I see you changed out the "puller" header that looked pretty radical even if not real practical. It's good to know where it went and that it's in good hands.

 

I'm guessing the saw blade in the valve cover really helps the car "cut" through traffic, eh?
=)
Nice to know this thread lives on.
Some really great pics. Thanks to everyone for sharing.

...keep 'em coming!

Has anyone used flow master mufflers on there six and if so what do you think

 

Got any pics?? Todd

 

great minds think alike, i have bought a 1996 BMW 323i with half a mind to swap the complete running gear into my 49 chevy.

 

Ok my turn ....my 49 chevy with 216

 

here is my 223 in 1959 f100 don't know what mods were made my wife bought the truck and all the guy said was that it was rebuilt with maybe 30-40K on the rebuild......although it does have a clay smith cam sticker on the side and.....I have only driven it once on r&r it had some balls but I didn't want to push it to hard after doing the brake job......lol..

 

Currently hard to call a hot rod - but soon!

The original 194 I6 is coming out, the the offy equipped 235 is going in.

 

Hey snelson57, that's a nice looking unmolested '29. With that 235 it'll get some attention off the light! Love them tall and skinnys..........

 

I have a factory 261 straight-6 in my '59 Pontiac... but it would be a stretch to say I was 'running' a straight-6 in my 'hot rod.'

 

I ran a 292 Chevy in my 65 pick up through a set of hedman hedders, 2 tubes into one 3" flowmaster and dumped in front of the rear wheel. I really like the sound it made. Most thought it was a V8 (the uninitiated). Definitely not traditional old school sound, but very cool in my mind. Try it, you may like it.

i am running a 215 straight 6 in my car. it has 2 1 bbl holleys and a offy intake, fenton split exhaust manifold. it has a 3 on the tree and overdrive. it gets 24 mpg on the highway. i think it runs pretty good.

 

The nephew had our GMC powered T out on the weekend.

Alfster that sounded pretty, Sweet nice job

 

ANy one using a flowmaster on there six any one recomend it

 

Mink,

It should work fine.
What you'll most likely end up with is a smooth, deep, mellow rumble.
Kinda like a Flathead Ford.
My Dad had a 250 in his '74 C-10 and one day the muffler rotted out.
One of the local parts stores used to have a metal garbage can out in the middle of their floor, filled with 4 foot long, generic, "Cherry Bomb" type mufflers.
They were $10 a piece.
Dad got one and we modified the the exhaust pipe and clamped the Cherry Bomb in.
Dad noticed a little extra power, when climbing hills loaded and he may have picked a little extra gas milage, but the most noticible thing about the change was the sound.
Not "rappy" and DEFINATELY not the "raspberry" that you get from a lot of sixes running stock setups.
Since the Flow Master basically works like a cross between a regular muffler and a Cherry Bomb, the result should be very similar.
For best results, use a full-length exhaust system (doesn't mean you have to, however).

MPG? She gets 20 gallons to the mile!
Actually, as much as I'd like to say she's mine, she isn't. Just something I ran across surfing the web.
I believe the website I got that pic from is a sort of blog-with-pics, about the owner's exploits with that rail.
Here's the link, if you wanna check it out - http://www.myrideisme.com/Blog/vintage-front-engine-dragster-with-a-six/

I take it that the car seen in your avatar.
Nice looking ride.
You don't hear of too many people running that engine.
How's it to live with? Pretty trouble free?
I bet parts aren't exactly easy to find for that engine.....or are they?

Anyway, extra bonus point for living outside-the-box.
Thanks for sharing your ride with us.

Mink,

Re: Your Flow Master question.

Here's a vid of 230 powered 1965 Cyhevy Van with glasspacks.
Should give you some idea of what using the Flow Masters would sound like.
