Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
You can get the cast iron headers -- styled like Fentons, but made for the later L6s [230, 250, 292] from Tom langdon at www.stoveboltengineco.com

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Mine was a "custom" cast iron manifold.
![]() That was before aftermarket companies were selling the Fenton remake units.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Here's my 230 before pic's. Gonna order the Offy 2X1 Intake and another Carb today. I'm going to look into getting a stock exhaust manifold and having another flange welded on to run dual pipes. If not that route then I'll get the shorties from Cliffords. Right now I'm running 2" straight out to the bumper and it sounds awesome with a fishtail tip from a Harley I had hanging in the shop. I'm looking at scoring a 292 and going all out with it like I've seen here. Lot's of good info and expertise here as well. Thanks in advance as well for any tips or pointers.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Thanks TJ. And yes it is a toss up between the Cast ones and the Tubes from Cliffords. Also, my 230 runs so damn good I don't want to have my truck down for a long period. TJ, when I come across a 292 what parts(mounts,brackets ect) should I make sure I have so the 292 can just be swapped out. I was reading a new thread about 292 mounts and it got me thinking, is going from a 230 to a 292 a pain or just plug and play? Thanks, and your motor looks awesome.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
I left the original pedal and arm and then made up some short rods to go to the original bellcrank that I mounted sideways. Fabricated a mount off the back of my Edelbrock carb. Been on there for about 10 years now and works perfect. No bad spots in the pedal just nice and smooth.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
I think I'm going to send the manifold back and cut my losses unless someone has this set up already operational. If my truck was 3 on the tree it might be easy to set up a cable linkage but with the power glide and kick down bell crank. Nah! Someone has to be running this manifold. the only thing that would make this thing work is to weld a piece off tubing onto it to provide the pivot point for the original bell crank set up.
