Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
has anyone ever made their own l6 intake manifold before?
it would look cool and would be way cheaper. but there has to be a reason why intake manifolds are cast im a cheapo that wants a intake for a 4 barrel or 2 throw some suggestions or ideas out there please call me crazy(which i am) but i think it would be sweet

Also you said a 4 barrel or 2 do you mean 2 4bbls or a 4bbl or a 2bbl you can put a 2bbl on the org intake with a 10 dollar adapter.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Thanks all. Yes, it is a Mercruiser valve cover and it would have had stickers in those flat locations. I had it wrinkled powder coated and then sanded off the top of the fins. Very happy how it turned out. I have a couple ideas for those flat spots but need to get the couple emblems to see if I like my idea.
As for the heades, they are Clifford shorty ones. They are actually split and one points back and the other points more down.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
I put a Weber 32/36 on my 235 - I'm running Fenton headers, HEI ignition, everything else is pretty stock. Had engine rebuilt 15,000 miles ago.
The standard 140/140 jets left me way too rich, I swapped for 135/155. (thanks Rich!!!) Still too rich, I put a 130 in primary side. Not much difference. With idle screw not touching the linkage, and idle mix screw adjusted for good running, (around 1 turn out) - I'm still running more RPMs than I should.... Does a 120 or 125 primary jet sound right to you with Weber experience? |

I am running a 40,000 volt pertronix ignitor with ngk 4es spark plugs and its actually running to hot! Not even close to rich. Going to swap the pertronix for a DUI and go back to a cooler spark( ngk 6es). My buck and a half.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Got the engine in my sons truck!
Still some stuff to get done, but here is the basics! Yes, I know the motor mount is missing... The one from the 230 does not fit on that side. Looking for a new one! Bell housing and passenger side in and bolted though! |
