Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Have you made any progress? Seems like your project has been idle for a while . . .

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Here's where I am at lol Haven't touched it in a few weeks, but have been stocking up on parts. I'll be getting back to it soon...with the holidays and life my major projects have slowed down.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Hey @TJ - can you provide some pictures / details of how you plumbed the Clifford intake to your cooling system? Maybe do a YouTube tutorial on your channel? There is absolutely nothing out there detailing how to best do this. Thanks in advance for schooling those of us who can use your knowledge!

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
I really dig this thread, here is my contribution. A 235 in a '59 Fleetside with 3 on the tree and Borg Warner OD.
There is an HEI distributor on the other side, and I'm working on the manifold heat plumbing now. The new duals were installed a couple weeks ago to hook up the split Williams manifolds. Pretty low key compared to what some others have done here, I browse among giants! Thanks for your inspiration...

Stock Manifold Heat Installation Part 1
Maybe this will help out others down the road. I'll post pics and comments as I do the installation of a heat plate from Langdon's Stove Bolt Six on my stock intake manifold.
Langdon's also sells a thermostat housing with two outlets, one for the heater supply and one to route coolant to the heat plate. A comment on this part though, both outlets were tapped for 3/8" pipe fittings, where as the one I took off was tapped for 1/2" pipe fittings. I sourced a reducer (upper LH brass part in pic) to adapt the heater hose fitting to fit the 3/8" port of the new part. I know it would have been best to drill out the 3/8" and re-tap to 1/2" but I didn't want to go down that road. The brass fitting on the right will go to the heat plate, the returning fluid will go to the brass fitting on the lower LH side of the pic. I will be changing that to a 90° elbow, not the 45° shown, I was just test fitting things so far. I need to get a shorter nipple to bring the tee lower and get a 45° street elbow to get the returning heater hose to attach at a good angle. So, as I get the parts and make progress I'll add to this thread.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Just about finished with my engine mods. Its a 250 out of a '71 Camaro. Checked the compression and almost perfect so I decided to go ahead and redo it. Painted the engine, polished valve cover, Offenhauser intake, 12bolt split manifolds, polished water pump and thermostat housing, HEI distributor, and 500cfm Edelbrock carb. Waiting on some carb linkage and custom hotrod fuel hose fittings. I need to rig some exhaust pipes on it so I can get to to the shop to complete the exhaust. Have two porter mufflers and intend to do a H pipe. Thinking about bellflower tips out each side. Now I got to figure out how to move the clutch slave cylinder its way too close to an exhaust pipe now.

When you do an exhaust crossover, remember the collector of the 1-2-3 pipe on the drivers side is ~6-8'' forward of the collector for the 4-5-6 pipe on the pass side. My crossover is therefore an "N'' with the cross pipe cutting in at an angle from the drivers side to the pass side. Old circle trackers' trick.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Bill,
I see you have your carb 180 to the engine. I assume that was for ease of linking the throttle but do you see any performance issue since the carbs are supposed to have the mains facing the engine? That would put the edelbrock letters facing the valve cover. Yeah I was anticipating having do something with the distance from header to H pipe. -Nate |

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Carb position has nothing to do with how it works or performs .. Holleys , that have side hung and front/rear hung floats care less what way you mount them ,whether on a tunnel ram forward or sideways or single 4 manifold .. The other thing to think about with the heated manifold is from the factory that is how they are set up , the exhaust warms the lower intake area ..Some people say you must have the manifold hot all the time or the vehicle won't run properly .. I ask you then , why would you buy an air gap manifold?? The performance aspect of an air gap manifold comes from it being up away from hot oil and the deletion of the cross over ...as fas as warming up a vehicle using the coolant to warm the manifold is lame at best it warms up the same speed as the engine , exhaust is the proper type of heat to heat the manifold .. On a older V8 the exhaust valve in the right manifold would open as the vehicle got hot thereby not directing as much of the exhaust through the manifold.. I built a 6 and did not use any heat to the manifold and if you do a test with and without I bet you will find more power and gas milage without it ...

My Edelbrock letters face the Driver's Side. I like it that way. Runs great since 2005.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
I know this is an old post but I have an old Clifford intake for my 250.I just wanted to know how you installed it with the stock manifold. Thanks!

The Offenhauser intake, is shaped like the GM cast iron intake, but cast in aluminum. So the Offy is compatible with the stock intake. Most Inliners, when upgrading, go whole hog and ditch the cast iron exhaust.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
After going thru this , i am really contemplating on fitting the inline back in my 63.
Running 455 pontiac currently , which is nice but it just doesnt do it fo me, the truck is fighting back. Like it's rejecting the v8 transplant. Giving me many headaches on various things. Anyway, been thinking of going back to inline 6 and stuff the poncho in my chevy eltoro (relabeled holden hq one tonner) last pic. 3 of my cars is powered by chevy inlines , i am a inline type of guy, even did one in my opel senator. Back in the day general motors south africa relabeled many other gm products and stuffed chevy 4 and 6 cyl inlines into them. Opel, holden and vauxhall, we had some pontiacs here but came with chevy power. Some pics of some of the stuff i have done or build over the years. Made a intake to run 44 idf carb. Took some time to get fuel curve right but now its the finer tuning. Got some more emulsion tube and jets and explore more. Its on a 230 now th350 and 2.92 rear. Cruising 60kph in town i'm still running on the idle jets in the transition circuit. With the other 3 pics. Here in south africa gmsa released the 153 with a 36dcd weber and gm cast intake. Came out as the H.O . I took 2 manifolds, cut and got it welded for dual webers. In the pic there is 32/36dgv clones. Tried it, but the 250 didnt like it , needs more tuning time., tried 2 x 38dgas webers , responds much better with the 38/38 carbs. |
