Thanks man, I can't take credit for spraying the paint. My friends at Greening motor company here in Nashville are taking care of all paint. I'm no painter, I'm just picking colors & rooting him on.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

I am a huge fan of the IL6 too, although my interest lies more in the Pontiac 230 OHC.
It is pretty cool that you are going to push 350 hp out of yours!!
When you are getting that kind of output, then the engine weight to power ratio really adds up to some awesome performance.

When I explain this to other people they are like "ahhh so you can get off the line faster !!"
To which I reply, "Well yes, but you can stop sooner too...." :lol:
Sometimes stopping is more important !!

Looks like a cool build, and I really dig on the detail work you did on your motor, very nicely done !

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Really Nice work.
Firm believer in the right tool for the job. Now I know its true.
I really dig that paint booth.
You are doing some good clean work.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Can't wait to see that motor together, love your truck!

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Yeah I love the I 6's. I've had lot's of V8's & really wanted something different. I wont be turbo charging for awhile. I'm kinda excited about the fuel injection for the reliability & smoothness. Without turbo it should still make between 280-300 HP.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Thanks Bomp. I'm a fan of your work man. Wish I had your fab skills.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Thanks Plain Red. I'm so stoked to see it all together too. Been a long time coming.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Here's a few more pics. I'm taking a bunch to make a coffee table book for me & my grandpa. I don't think he ever imagined the truck would be a hot rod as it was always a tool to him, but I think he"ll really appreciate it. Not sure I like the white distributor cap or not. Might wind up being blue too.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Looking good! I agree, the white distributer cap doesn't grab me either. Blue or black.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

wow, thats looking great! can't wait to see how that motor runs out when you get it going!

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Making some real progress! Fuel injection is all wired & plumbed.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

just found this build and all i can say is awesome, i love that you stayed with papaws paint and the six is insane, cant wait to see a video of the motor.great work :metal:

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Thanks man, I love that my grandpa painted it too. The motor has been about a year & a half in the planning & it's really coming together now. Hope it runs as good as it looks.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

You have raised the bar for inliners. It is one of those engines that I find myself staring at, so unique, rare, excellent finishes. It makes me say,

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Thanks Bro, Well your 6 was kinda the genesis of mine. You already did the turbo so I had to find some other way. We'll have to go cruise once mine is up & running.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Truck is looking nice. I especially lave how the motor is coming out. Nice job!

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Sounds good.
Cruise and a few good brews, with the trucks parked right out front.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Very nice, and with it sitting up to that white firewall, I like the rotor cap a lot more now too.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

+1 on that, yeah the white firewall brings it together!

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Thanks Fellas, It's all in & ready for Exhaust tomorrow. Then hopefully friday we'll be puttin it on the chassis dyno & firing it up. :metal::metal::metal::metal::metal:

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Beautiful^^^

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Thanks man. I can't wait to hear it run.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

That is truly Bluetiful

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Here's a couple pictures of it all buttoned up before it went to exhaust today. Hopefully it'll be on the road early next week.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

K5-
Maybe i missed in while crusing through your thread--but what's the deal with your fuel injection setup?

Re: The Old Duffer
 

It's a F.A.S.T. fuel injection setup.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Awesome job!

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Thanks man, Now just hoping it runs.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

You hit a home run with that one, looks great.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

So clean man. Awesome.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Thanks so much Delmo! As a big fan of your work that means a lot! Now I just gotta get my truck layed out like yours.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

curious as to what fuel tank and pump you are using?

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Hey Paintman, I'm using a 1961 Schlitz 15 & a half gallon keg. It's been fitted with a fuel sending unit that works with the stock gauge. The fuel pump is an electric one that comes with the F.A.S.T. fuel injection setup. It's controlled by the computer.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Well It'd probably be running now but I'm waiting to take delivery of a new radiator as my old one is toast. So here's a couple more detailed under hood shots & new tail pipes. I'll post new exhaust pics once I get it back on the lift.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

dammit boy! looks great. I like the sneaky routing of the vacuum adv. hose.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Ha thanks man! Grant does excellent work.

Re: The Old Duffer
 

First off your motor looks amazing!!!!!!! I am also doing a 250 for my 46, and looking at a similar carb setup. I was under the impression that these TBI carbs needed anti slosh baffles within the fuel tank. I was also concerned about the electric fuel pumps. I have heard horror stories about them being unreliable and noisy. Hopefully you will keep us posted on your experiences. And in the meantime I have shot you a pm in regards to T. Lowe

Re: The Old Duffer
 

No notes about needing a baffled tank in the literature. Guess I'll find out soon. Firing it up today. :metal::metal::metal::metal:

Re: The Old Duffer
 

Here's some exhaust shots. Had to run under the axle for now till I raise my bed a couple inches. (strangely when I upload these pics there getting turned around but you get the idea)

Re: The Old Duffer
 

extremely nice work, cant wait to see the dyno sheet, let us know how the fast injection works out for you, i have been consdering it for mone as well.
