Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
 

Thanks guys! This is my first ever build, so I have been taking my time and trying to have my cake and eat it too, I just hope the ole 6 can turn all of those pulleys without starving it too bad!

Mike,
I pulled a T5 from an S10 out of a local parts salvage. I went thru it too, and replaced a few parts. Its amazing what one can learn with enough research and talking to enough people!

I hate to duplicate all of my posts, so I will let yall know when I get it in the truck and whether or not it runs, but do most of my posting on my build thread.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
 

your engine looks bad a$$ who cares if it will turn all of those pulleys it will look good sitting still lol I am not sure that mighty six is the fastest six and for you that have not seen the or heard of the vortec 6 it came in trailblazers. there was a guy that had a turbo powered one in a Malibu wagon that turned some serious times and always did a nice wheel stand off the line.should be able to find it on youtube.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
 

VERY nice JR25!!

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
 

i have a question for anyone running an offenhauser intake and using engine coolant to heat the intake. when i ordered my headers from tom langdon he told me that the freeze plugs in the bottom of the intake will leak and he has a write up on how to make sure it doesn't leak, has any one had this issue? how long will it take before it leaks? and what did you do to fix it?



here is a link to toms write up on this issue.. http://stoveboltengineco.com/2012/02...let-manifolds/

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
 

The freeze plugs are heilarced on mine. Now I know why. The manifold is a couple of years old. Bought from langdon. Mike

I bought a Clifford intake for mine so I wouldn't have that problem.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
 

I talked to Tom, read his write ups, talked to Patrick (Patrick's Antique cars and trucks), read several "tech" articles, and dozens of threads on this topic. I chose to go with exhaust heat to the manifold for two reasons: the original used exhaust heat, and it was a much cleaner look to achieve without worrying about a coolant leak!
Some guys don't heat it at all (normally in warmer climates than Tom is in up North) and report NO problems at all. Tom is a very smart guy, and VERY adamate about this topic, but in the end, the decision is yours! When I fired my engine for the very first time, it was only minutes before the copper tubing that I used started the dark rainbow coloring from the heat, so I know for a fact that the intake is getting hot quick, no waiting on the coolant to warm up!
Have you already plumbed it up? If so, my rambling did you no good, and I didnt even answer your question! :smoke:

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
 

When I first installed the motor I had a bad bog off the line. Installed the hot water lines and it went away!!! Offenhauser manifold and Holley 390 carb. Mike

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
 

Normally when it becomes under pressure it will start to leak. Some guys have just ruffed it up along with the intake and just JB weld them in.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
 

Gotta get a drive shaft this week so the exhaust can be run. A friend of mine owns a muffler shop, so he will do that work! Gonna just run straight pipes for now and worry about mufflers later when it actually gets on the road. When I get the exhaust in, I will try a video. Still running high rpms to break in the ole flat tappet cam, and heat has been an issue as well! Apparently, boring 80 over heats the block up a little high for the original copper radiator. Probably looking at having to buy a high efficiency radiator!

These things are a money pit!!!:waah:
