Looks good man! Love me some hopped up 6 bangers!

GMDad · 12-24-2016, 01:16 AM

Long read thru 35 pages but lots of neat motors. I am also starting on a new 292 for my 65 pickup. Just pulling the shortblock apart now to check it out. Cylinder head work was done in the summer time. Lump ports, new springs and the larger valves and a little porting. The machinist was very impressed with the flow numbers this head flowed as high as the V8 Vortec heads do. Now to read a couple more chapters in Leo's book.

Nice eye candy, TJ. Not green or orange like all the rest, but it's your engine in your truck.
Where's the fuel pump? I see a block-off plate where a mech pump goes, and a steel fuel line coming from over the transmission hump.
Looks like you have plumbed the in/out of the Clifford intake carb heat by bypassing the bypass hose elbow.
Is that a 3-Bbl'd Demon carb?
Who's Shorty headers?
Strange things.

Wish I could have this one back for my C10. Built it for my no options 67 Chevelle 300 years ago. Lump port head with split exhaust, HEI and lumpy cam.

T and S · 10-18-2017, 09:18 PM

Just sent my 250 out for rebuild - will have Offenhauser intake, 390 cfm Holley carb, 292 exhaust manifold, cam. Shooting for 9:1 compression. Builder is Baldwin Racing Engines in Friedheim, Mo.

Fuel pump is mounted on the frame next to the rear mount fuel tank. Thermostat housing I have does not have a bypass anymore.
4 barrel 625 cfm demon. Am considering a 3 barrel conversion though but would need a bigger carb I believe. Probably a 750.
Clifford shorty headers.

what trans do you have bolted to this?

raidmagic · 12-17-2017, 11:02 PM

Here's mine. 250. cam, split header, 4 barrel. It will stay for a bit but it will be replaced and used in another car I have. Fun to drive though. Right now there is a 3 on the tree behind it but I'm going to swap in a 4 speed I have.

Here's a short clip of it running.

You know after looking at this thread I might go back and do another one.

I love the rugged simplicity of the inline 6's. So if you build another one, keep us posted . . . Just remember!

Is it an illusion or did you build out the firewall?

Ahh. 10-4 thanks

shp4man · 12-21-2017, 01:01 AM

OK, not a tricked out motor, but a very dependable, and in some rpm ranges, torquey as hell 250 inch motor. Damn thing loves to climb hills. It's in a '65, but as near as I can tell, it's about a '69 or '70 motor by the casting numbers.
This was in my truck when I got it. When I replaced the valve cover gasket, was amazed by how clean it was inside- no sludge at all. It may be a Jasper motor ( a motor rebuilding company) , don't know, but it uses no oil at all.
I've grown to really like it, especially the sound.
Some day I'll doll it all up.

I see you have the rebuildable fuel pump. Is it easy to rebuild them? Can you still get the kit? Most '67s and -later L6s were issued with the disposable [solid yellow anodized can] fuel pumps. Easier to to replace than the SBCs which have that whole song-and-dance about the cam push rod.

Kits are still available, but looks like they cost more than a new, non-rebuildable pump. Figures.

here is my 63 on its way to be tricked,, and the pending 292 to be freshened up

You already trick you your fuel line. lol

Yeah, that is some fancy jet-engine type plumbing just to a one-barrel.
