Straight Six's

[Hair]

Could I see pictures of the engine compartments of those of you who are running inline six cylinders? I'd like to see those that are all originally restored, well used, and tricked out too. I'm working on mine and would like some ideas and help on what's supoposed to where and how things should look or could look. Thanks in advance.

for some reason, ive always loved how they looked under the hood. i think its because its nothing like you would ever see today. and they make such a unique sounds too !

Mine falls into the well-used but original category. Its the in my beater truck, and still has the factory smog equipment.



It runs OK!

They make both a magneto and, a kit that makes it LOOK like one. Judging by the amount of money on just the weber throttle bodys, I would say its a real version.

Very cool indeed, but kinda too high tech looking for me.

That thing is sick!

Heres a bad pic of my 250 in the middle of a wiring project. Its in a chevyii

Here's mine. Power steering, Power brakes & air conditioner

After looking at some of these sixes, I think I'll keep mine for a while longer. I had been thinking of slapping a 350 in with a 700R4.

Hey, bowtietruck, are those all add on? Or did the truck come with A/C, ps, pb?

Several years ago I saw an El Camino six in a j-yard with all of that equipment on it including HEI. If I had been smart, I would have confiscated it all...

[tommyd241]

1968 250. I need to clean and tune it up.

[kyull67]

Here's mine. Almost done

Hey kyull67 and others!
Where did you get those chrome side covers?
Do you have a chrome timing cover on that?..I can't see. I was wanting a chrome valve cover, timing cover, thermostat housing, and side covers, but I'm having a really hard time finding any thing other than a valve cover. Anyone know where I can buy this stuff??

Also, kyull67, where did you get those headers? If you run those headers you have to run dual pipes out ...right?

[Botietruck]

68gmsee, Those are add-ons from that era (or as close to the era as possible) Alot of search & rescue hours went in to finding that stuff.

Been looking around too. speedwaymotors.com has the chrome side covers for $15 a set if anyone else cares.

Those are the stock covers. I stripped them and then clear coated the bare steel. My vavle cover is the "Chevrolet script" chrome, I actually got it from an old tractor. They can be hard to find.
The headers are Cliffords. http://www.cliffordperformance.net/
Yes you do have to run dual exhaust at least for a few feet. I got them off ebay for dirt cheap. You can find alot of parts on Ebay.
