Lookin' to soup up your old inline 6? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I spoke with this guy about 4 years ago. He has one fast Nova. Used to be active at inliners, but I've lost track of him.

This is my friend's 261 in his 52. 261 was the big six before the 250 series. This one is bored 60, head shaved and professionally ported by another friend who ports racing heads. Dual Holley-Weber progressive 2 barrels, offy intake, full race cam, cast Fenton headers, Unilite distributor with MSD-6. Very streetable, but wicked. This engine's factory redline was 3,600 rpm, he has turned over 6,000. Running pump gas I would guess he's around 250 hp.

Parts for the older sixes are available at www.patricksantiquecars.com and www.stoveboltengineco.com

Fred T, nice pick of the old Santa Fe FP45. Cool

Some real nice looking setups here, not to bore anyone who saw me post this before - here's my current setup, I've added an radiator overflow bottle to mine since this was taken
