Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
I was walking up to my house earlier(I live on a very busy street), and heard the rap of a I6 with glasspacks. I saw a late-40's early-50's chevy truck rolling down the street. Man those things sound sweet!

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
My buddy's dad had a Korean war era Duece and a Half crane with a 302 GMC in it, with nothing but a stock exhaust manifold and a few feet of plumbing pipe ran up through the hood. Some sort of ancient two-barrel fed the thing, and it screamed like a drunken prom date. Never forgot the heart-poiunding sound of that old beast.
It went about 45, and broke my buddy's thumb trying to steer it a logging road once... The motor's since been rebuilt, and I hear it powers a small commercial log tug around Puget Sound. I imagine the crane is still rotting in the misty woods of Columbia County. |

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Hello guys,
I just wanted to say you guys are making me cry bringing back all my old memories when I was running a 261 built engine from a Chevy semi bored to 278, balanced, JE 12.5 dome pistons, ported and polished head with cast iron headers, Isky cam all of this with a one barrel carb in a 53 Chevy two door sedan called Mr 6 for a good reason because it blowed away the built flatheads, Olds rocket 88's and a bunch of 283 Chey's. I did get beat one time by a 292 Chevy with roller cam and four barrel, polished head, balanced and I heard a roller crank although I have never heard of one. Thanks guys for listening to my love from fifty years ago but at 68 I would still like a built 292 in an S-10 Chevy |

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Not a great picture but one more to add to the pile.I'm so tired of people asking why I didn't put a V8 in my truck.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Hi i just got my trucks home. I got 2 1966 gmc 1/2tons. Ones a parts truck with a 283 and the other is my good one with a 6 banger. Reading this thread got me thinking maybe keeping the 6 banger and fixing it up like these tricked out ones on this thread. Question i have is what kind of output or horsepower can be had with doing these 6 cylinders right?

The question we will have is..............How much money do you want to spend. Unless your towing something, I never understood why people worry about how much power an engine makes. Now having said that, I blew through 7K real fast and got nearly 300HP out of my 292. |

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Lucy has the best engine bay IMO. I remember the first time those pics were posted. I love that truck and the engine bay is perfect.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
This is one of my dad's 6 cylinders. It's a 250 with a 292 crank, 350 flat top pistons, and 400 rods.
I'll post the video of his 292 on the engine run stand later tonight if I think about it. -Aaron Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device |

I plan to run a 600 cfm edelbrock on my 292. The dual webers would actually run richer than your edelbrock if you use dual weber 38s. For that small of a 6 cyl. I would recommend the weber 32/36(it has smaller jets). Know a guy who did the dual 38s on a 250 and it had flood out problems. ![]() |
