Thanks! It drives great! Does really well at 2500 rpm, especially with the four barrel on it. I'm hardly touching it in fourth gear at a cruise!

here is my hodge podge of inline parts; 250 1983 block, 292 1979 head, 250 1967 intake and exhaust. the original head was carryed to head exchange place for rebuild(before me) the block was replaced because of crack in # 3 cylinder(me).

Dang good job you did on the valve cover! Now it needs a turbo charger!

Nice T.J! My truck does the same with the lifters it just barely pisses oil out the top i need to redo her soon!

Druman
Your Welcome.

baddawg65, with you running that Offy set-up and, don't quote me here, Heddman headers, did you run into any issues without running that thermatic dampner flap on the old exhaust manifold now that you converted to long tube headers. Know what I mean? I've read about issues arising with that and seen in an old Chevy pic of an old 50's stovebolt running Fenton headers that had a heater core bypass line running to what looked like a milled aluminum block bolted to the intake manifold. Any suggestions?

The intake should be water heated, so he shouldn't have a fuel evaporation issue if that's what you mean. I'll let baddawg65 answer the issue part. I see what you are taking about. The intake does not have a water heating system on it, at the time the picture was taken.

Sweet T.J. MCCAULEY, it's not going to happen for a while but I'm just getting my ducks in a row here for when I do do the swap over. Also, Druman, Dig the valve cover and the paint job you did.

[Druman]

thanks D ROCK

If I was you, I would purchase Clifford's intake and Headers. His intake is open plenum and is better made than the offey(in my opinion). His long or short tube headers are made from 16 gauge metal. Tom Langdon's Cast iron headers are a good buy also. And if you get a clifford intake the water system will be alot easier to hook up than the offy. I can send some pics if you want. Just let me now. T.J. P.s. I posted some pictures in my build thread so you can how the clifford intake water system hooks up.

I'm not sure how many guys here are in Fla. But just wanted to let you all know I'll be taking the Twisted6. to the Lakeland drag strip Oct 20th.

Dang! I'm ALL the way across the U.S. from you! I'm in Oregon! Hope you can post a vid here of the race.

[Twisted6]

I am hoping a buddy of mine will get some video of it for me. I am taking my
Cam with me. I am also?? going to try and figure out a way to mount it inside for some video. But at the vary least video of it on the track.The is set-up for 1/4 and this is only a 1/8mi. track so are figuring a mid to high 9 pass. which if it was a 1/4mi track should be mid to maybe low 14's on a 10-1 motor mild cam.
But anyway I'll post it on my site with the Other Vids I have of it.

Hi Larry:
I didn't know you were on this forum. I usually hang out in the '67-'72 universe. Just wanted to say "Hey" and thanks.
You helped me a with lot of advice when I was building up my 292 L6 @ .030-over, Badger pistons, Crane 260H cam, 1.87? intake valves, Rhoades lifters, Offy intake, Clifford headers, and [after the 390 Holley gave up] an Edelbrock AFB-clone 1404 500 CFM. This in a '68 C/10 Stepside, 292 L6, SM465, 12-Bolt 3.73 rear w/Eaton posi. I went to Pertronix Ignitor II a couple of years ago and it's great. It ain't clean or too pretty; it's still a daily driver work truck.
Cheers, Brian

Thanks. GM HEI. It's a 19 mpg tire burner

[Dillon Rock]

Nice NEWFISHER, Beautifle engine, what kind of rig is it in? Judging by the pic taken from the right of the engine bay, I'm assuming an old tear-drop hood style late '40's to early 50's Chevy.

[TJ's Chevy]

NEWFISHER,
That hei should be putting a true 30,000 volts out! The dui puts out 50,000...anyway nice rig!

My 65 SWB has JACSB in it and I couldn't help posting the burb motor over on this thread. I'm on the 60-66 side more now struggling through the resurrection of the 65

[Twisted6]

Only just the beginning right.

[Dillon Rock]

Ain't that the truth. I just wish I had the garage we had before we moved to our new house back in Michigan. Had a shop we restored 3 tractors in that had a helluva woodstove (it'd be -20 outside in the evening and you'd be sweating in the shop in a t-shirt!) and a workbench, plus a manual tire changer for the hay wagon wheels and whatever tires needed R&R.

[TJ's Chevy]

Larry, yeah it's the same for me on my 6 cylinder, you get your plan set and you still want more power!
Dillon, how many miles on the motor?
