Here's some pics...Original down to the GM radiator hoses!

D13 · 10-23-2008, 07:34 PM

There's two in the garage shot a 63 Nova 194 and a 73 Camaro 250. (the really orange one is an Allis 4-cyl). One in the red 81 GMC (it's on its 2nd motor at 56k, hate integral heads with cracks and vacuum leaks. Lived its life on the farm in 1st gear. Still has the factory tires on the front). And one on the 84 chassis, about 60k miles, complete with its PS.

and one more...

Green77c10 · 11-07-2008, 09:35 PM

love this six! mines an integral with everything factory, but the simplicity and torque of it is nothing to complain about even with a stock setup. Of course, im not leaving it stock...

I guess since this is a new engine I can post mine again??? Mercruiser 165hp 250ci, Offenhauser 4bbl intake. A Holley 390 4bbl coming soon, Rodchester 2bbl installed right now.

manimal · 11-08-2008, 02:37 PM

Hey Thomas, how does that thing run with a 2bbl?
-Lance

2bits · 11-09-2008, 05:48 PM

Hey Lance,

It runs great actually. I was worried since the CFM for 2bbl carbs I believe is 500. I am looking forward to putting the 390 4bbl on it after I can rebuild it with a help of a friend which will save me some gas mileage compared to the 2bbl, but this one is just fine.

Here's a new pic, I just got the Air Conditioning back installed with the new bracket. I had to make the bottom half of it, as well as the throttle bracket. Doing a Blazer tank conversion and selling the old engine tonight!

Green77c10: I like your truck, it reminds me of my first stepside!

Green77c10 · 11-09-2008, 10:55 PM

Im saving up for an offy intake and i think Im going to go with the Edelbrock Thunder AVS 500 cfm. that should be interesting...

Green77c10 · 11-09-2008, 10:55 PM

have to finish my head conversion though.. darn that integral!

2bits · 11-10-2008, 06:12 PM

Simple enough, get you a junkyard head/intake and exhaust and have the head redone. You can do the upgrades later. I know $$$ is the key right! I just stumbled across my intake and couldn't let it go since it came with the engine

Green77c10 · 11-11-2008, 10:04 AM

im workin on it, got all the parts and got the head resurfaced, need to clean up the valves tho. trying to decide if i wanna save up and oversize the valves

manimal · 06-02-2009, 10:12 PM

I know it's a little outdated,but back to the top!

StepinNJ · 06-18-2009, 10:01 PM

Here's my 79 GMC with 90,404 miles. Still running strong as ever.
Auto with A/C.

SBTork · 06-18-2009, 10:35 PM

here is the 4.1/4 speed manual w/od in my '82 that is currently part of a frame off resto-mod. I ditched the inline 6 and 4 speed although it worked really well.
Here are some pics I took at a gas station a few miles after I bought it earlier this year, notice the previous owners duct tape vent window

Did it have enough power to run OD at 45-55 without having to shift to direct? I've got my eye on an 84 A-833 truck with a popped 305, and have a couple of L-6's that could use a home. Just been wondering if the combo is really driveable.

I did not drive it much at highway speeds in OD, but it was way more powerful than I thought. I remember pulling onto the highway and saying to myself, this is going to suck, but I looked down and I was doing 65 in 3rd gear, then I shifted into OD and rode just fine.

East End K5 · 06-19-2009, 06:48 AM

6's are straight if you know what i mean.......my buddy had one in his 69 nova.....man what an engine. Took a beating and I swear I thought it was a small block...if there was one thing chevy did well was those bow tie beauties!

72BlckButy · 06-19-2009, 08:06 AM

Since this is back ttt, what kind of mufflers are you guys running on your I6's?

manimal · 06-19-2009, 08:55 AM

I've had Flowmaster,MagnaFlo,and DynoMax and like the Dynomax the best.
