I put a Edelbrock 1404 manual choke on my 230 it worked good right out of the box. I set it on a Clifford hot water heated intake. The motor has a Mercrusier boat cam and pulls hard from idle on up, plus runs smooth at idle. It also has Langdon Headers. What I would like to run is two Weber 2 barrels [check this link] https://www.cliffordperformance.net/ But that will be when I win the lottery some day. I love the looks of Tri-power I had some on a old 235 but it drove me nuts trying to get 3 carbs in tune. Here is a pic of my 230...Vernski

Vernski,I really Like your truck the engine looks AWESOME,Yrs ago my brother got an old boat it had a 250 six in it,I took it out rebuilt the head on it had it sittin on an stand got me a offenhauser 4-barrell intake and an holley carb,and all hooked up to radiator and let it run to make sure there were no cracks,the engine still had the crosshatch pattern inside of cylinder walls.This was gonna be a candidate for my burb if i needed it,but sold burb yrs ago,still have engine,with the marine cam I bet it would be a good pullin motor,Oh well maybe one day I'll use it...

If you log on to 1960-1966 chevy trucks. com I am sure there would be some
6 cylinders that are green, If you dont mind a green V8, I believe I saw one on
their. You may even find a dark green truck! Anyway there should be
plenty of photos on that sight. If you asked me 47 Years ago I woulda given you
a picture of mine, but lately my truck got a little rusty!

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines

If I had been around 47 years ago, I would have definitely asked! LOL as it is, my dad would have been 11 then. LOL

I have been looking online to see if I could find a dark green, but not much luck so far. I will try that site specifically though. Thanks!

It's not going into a truck, but this is what my dad and I are working on. And yes that is a thermostat housing.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines

My first guess was that's the blower off of a late 90's Pontiac GTP 3800 or similar, but the "3.8" on the lid sort of looks like it's off of the supercharged 3.8 used in Ford Thunderbirds. Sweet project either way though.

You guessed it. It's off of a Thunderbird Supercoupe.
