New engine I swapped in this past winter old 350 would go thru a quart of oil every 60 miles lol

Right side and the valve cover looks pretty good now. I still have the front and left side to do. The oil pan will be painted off the truck when I drop it to change the gasket. For all the history buffs, note the original fawn paint showing on the firewall of this Atlanta built truck. Body color is 510 turquoise.

I finished the other side of mine, and put it back together with fresh gaskets and belts,hoses, thermostat, etc. Still have to drop the oil pan to re-gasket and paint, and replace the motor mounts. I intend to repaint the mount towers at that time.

Welcome to the board. I believe that is correct for the 6 cylinder air cleaner. Hopefully some others may add to this or you can repost your question within the main board area.

Yep, in 62 the only two six cylinders that were available in chevy trucks were the 235 and 261, they both came equipped with oil bath air cleaners

When I first got it:

Needs a bit of elbow grease to get it clean. I have a few goodies to go on soon too

par4tom · 07-29-2016, 01:05 AM

Old school SBC 383

par4tom · 07-29-2016, 01:10 AM

Another angle...

62stepside longbox · 07-29-2016, 01:23 AM

Wow Tom that is one clean engine bay, looks like you could eat off of it

contagious102 · 07-29-2016, 12:03 PM

My 66 , 540CI .

phraza · 11-14-2016, 08:47 PM

Recent: new rocker covers, air filter, leads, plugs, radiator shroud. Still a few more things on my list to clean it up (mainly hoses and radiator)

65ny · 11-14-2016, 08:57 PM

235, HEI, dual webers, and split manifold.

TJ's Chevy · 01-07-2017, 12:37 AM

Time for another bump.

This 292 is eagerly awaiting an engine bay. Some basics, lump ported head, shaved, bigger valves, bbc roller rockers, comp cam 268H, .040 over bore with ross racing forged aluminum pistons, 625 CFM Demon carb, cliford intake and headers. Engine backed by a TKO600. Coulda done the ol 350, but this looks WAY better and will perform like a champ to.

1st pic is before and the other 2 are after. Pulled this out of a 64 Chevy and it's for my 66.

TJ's Chevy · 01-07-2017, 12:41 AM

Not quite as perrty as the one above, but this is my 305E V6 in my 64 GMC. Did a heavy low end service and reseal. Also a repaint. Detroit diesel green.

600 cfm eddy and true dual exhaust. Sounds sweet with flowmaster 40's. Wouldn't trade that 305 for anything except a bigger big block v6.

62 Barnfind · 01-07-2017, 11:14 AM

62 with 235

forestb · 01-09-2017, 12:43 PM

Here is mine.
