Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
I think it's a 250. But what do I know?! :lol: Wish we could see the pass. side of it better. If it's a 230 you could still use it, but I don't know much about that engine.

Re : Buying A Straight Six
I can tell you it has the Rochester Series ' B' carby and those were used from 1963 ~ 1968 on the thinwall L6's .
Can you rustle up a compression tester & test it there ? . it's simple , easy & cheap and will prevent you from buying junk . -Nate Quote:

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
a good 230 is still a nice engine.... if its good deal I would go for it.... if I was buying one for an honest price i would look 250 for the other 20 ci... Just my opinion...

From my 1976GMC C2500 .
Pics 1 & 2 are from the day I bought it , note the old T-Shirt stuffed in the oil filler hole :lol: . Pic # 3 is the original exhaust manifold , this is why you don't stupidly keep driving it when it has exhaust leaks ! :waah: . |

Here we have the engine ready for cleanup , the original intake manifold cleaned & re painted and the various accessory brackets all painted and ready to go back on .
I wish I could figure out how to put text between each picture ! . |

Pic # 1 : various rubber grommets sourced from local FLAPS , Pep Boys , Kreagen , Shucks Ect. , just take your old crumbly ones and match 'em up in the " HELP ! " aisle ~ Dorman Products makes tons of good stuff and new grommets staunch those pesky oil leaks .
New radiator hoses too . Last pic : ready to re assemble . I paid $700 for this truck (no rust) and dumped $3,700.00 worth of parts into it and felt lucky to get $600 back out after it did the one long distance hauling job I bought it for , admirably . |
Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
Cool! How about some of the 1969 250 NATE?
|
Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
I know ! they're coming (so is Christmas yadda yadda) , please bear with me ~ I don't know how you alls got those super clear underhood pictures but I'll give it a go as I'm the deepest L6 lover you'll ever meet .
It's still crappy weather here in La La Land ~ I must needs drive my truck Thursday & Friday so I'll try to remember to take my camera and grab some snaps . It's just another clapped out old 250 , not a shining thing like some here but then it's a real workhorse in spite of burning all that darned oil :lol: . |
Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
We love all the Sixes CLEAN or DIRTY :) As long as they work its All good in the neighborhood

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
That's a Rochester Series 'B' carby and the kickdown cable attaches to the lower arm on the throttle linkage , you may have to go rob it off some old Nova / Chevelle Ect. in Pick-A-Part , for now it's not important as you can always manually pull the shift lever down one notch , that's a better way anyway .
Congrats on your new (to you) 250 C.I.D. ! now strip off all the accessories , mounts & ect. , plug the holes and scrub it Hospital clean & re spray it , then the accessories gloss black so when you re assemble it , it'll look really nice . |
Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
What color should I paint it? Last time I sprayed my old straight 8 buick 320 it burned the paint right off hahaaaa. I used the engine spray from auto parts store too. Do i spray the the intake manifold and exhaust manifold too? or just the block and the valve cover/oilpan?

Re : Post Your Straight Six Pics!
Engine paint is a subjective thing unless you're restoring it .
I like Chevrolet / GMC red , others prefer Chevrolet orange and still others prefer the passenger car blue . The main thing is to paint the entire lump including manifolds then assemble the accessories and drive it , the exhast manifold paint will burn off quickly and the contrast of black motor mounts , starter , power steering pump and so on against the engine color and bare metal carby , dizzy and alternator , will make it look ' factory ' even if you choose some engine color that more matches or accentuates the truck's color . See ? . I suppose it's obvious I built & sold used vehicles for many years , the devil as they say , is always in the details , a dealer engine overhaul/rebuild or replcement , was *very* persnickity in this manny back in the day . If you take the time to really scrub it clean , especially in the corners & crevices , the new paint will stick well and last a long time . DO NOT use cheapo paint ! . I took some pix of my 250 yesterday and will try to post them , it's nothing special as I've said so no whining about the HEI or chrome rockerbox please ! :lol: . |

My 250 with a 3 speed saginaw. Got a donor original 250 motor from a 1971 Nova with a 2 speed powerglide that will replace my tired mill.

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
>>....that will replace my tired mill.<<
I'd rethink that PCV System before I made that determination. |
Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
Any advice is appreciated.

Re : PCV
