You'll have to check the serial # to be sure ~ ' Captain's Bars ' mean nothing .

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!

Means nothing ~ the 848 head is the last and best 235 head and it fits both 235 & 261 .

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
Found the block numbers: 3769716 So this is a l6 235. If it had the 7 at the end it would of been a 261.

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
Just realized the thriftmaster 235 in my 61 apache does not have a oil filter. Oil change every 1000 miles?

No ;
Just HOT change the oil every 3,000 miles and you'll be fine . HOT not just warm it up 20 minutes idling ~ lay out your tools and oil pan then go to breakfast or summat across town ~ as soon as you get home drop the oil plug and let 'er rip ~ hot oil drains all the crud with it , cool / cold oil doesn't .

The importance of HOT oil changes cannot be over estimated ~
This is why Dealer service is so bad : they never get the car anywhere near warm , they let them sit for hours before touching them . Most of my vehicles are cast offs and Junkyard projects etc , they often some with the engine full of old waxy paraffin based oil sludge but after a few months the engines are clean as a whistle inside because i use only modern multi - viscosity detergent oils and I religiously change them , always blistering hot . Synthetics are incredibly detergent and will clean out all the sludge in two or three oil changes .

Offenhauser, Clifford and Mercruiser all have those finned valve covers. Hard to read at that angle. Hard to see his intake either. Is that a Turbo Wastegate? Air cleaner? IDK.

The old L6 stock valve cover is a different animal from the 'Late' L6 valve cover. I have no idea how to run PCV on a dual carb set up.

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
Just sold this one in a 64 shortbed. 292 bored 30 over with Offenhouser intake, 390cfm Holley, split manifolds and full duel exhaust and HEI ignition. Oh yeah, it also had power steering, Ac, and power brakes too!
