Re: Hot Rod 6 cyl.

i know a guy who runs 3 quads on a 250 in a '64 Chevy II. he runs in the 12's, but that was before he freshened the engine.

never under estimate a 6...especially a long stoke 292 thats breathing good. couple that with the right gears, and nothing will catch you...



..until you hit 60 mph.

lol. i'm gonna be watching this thread...i'm a sucker for a six.

Re: Hot Rod 6 cyl.

I'll have one soon enough. I just need to decide if I'm going to turbocharge it or not. Does anyone have any info on turbocharging a 250 with a blow through setup, other than read the Santucci book?(I've read it cover to cover a few times.)

Re: Hot Rod 6 cyl.

1972Ryan,

the clifford, with it's larger plenum size, is more of a high rpm intake, whereas the Offenhauser is a low-mid range intake. that aside, you should expect some good improvements, it's helping the engine breath. as long as you have the subsequent exhaust flow out (headers).

Kyull67 -

I hate to turn people away from the forum to another, and i'm sure you've heard it before, but www.inliners.org is the best place for inline hop-up, in my opinion. if i'm not mistaken, there are plenty of guys running turboed 6's, with blow throughs. a whole section of the board is devoted to forced induction.

that being said, good looking set up.

-Sam.

Ole Lucy, I was thinking the other day about asking the new owner if I could get her out and drive her for a few days since she's been sitting for a year. That might go to the top of the list next week while I'm on vacation.

Re: Hot Rod 6 cyl.

seriously thinking of adding this to the crate motor being shipped to me from clifford, but it moves the price up from 5 to 8K that includes shipping.http://www.cliffordperformance.net/M...gory_Code=C250

There's a whole subforum over on www.inliners.org called "Forced Induction" that is about nothing but turbo- and supercharging.
I thought about a turbocharged 292 in a 4x4 '67 Suburban for towing a trailer, but I heard turbos aren't really for towing.
There's a guy on there with a 292 L6 in a '65 El Camino. He has posted some awesome results.

Re: Hot Rod 6 cyl.

All this talk about 6's has me salivating.....anyone have MPG comparisons to a 350? I really liked the fuel injected set up in the link post #13.

Re: Hot Rod 6 cyl.

You'd need the L6 motor mount towers. Other than that it shouldn't be that complicated. The L6 block has the same bolt pattern for the bellhousing as just about any chevy transmission.

You can find some used Offenhauser stuff, I'm not sure if they still make new parts for these motors. I know Comp Cams has several grinds available. You can also use 307 pistons for a compression ratio of about 9-10:1. I need to find more information on that though.
