Inline six rebuild
Hi all,
I have a 1965 GMC shortwide with a 230.
I am in the unique spot of having some extra cash. wahooooooo
I want to rebuild the six cylinder by myself. I am mechanically inclined, and have different books and manuals on hand.
I have no previous knowledge about the condition of this motor.
I want a daily driver with a little different motor under the hood. I have a set of long tube headers, I have an offenhauser manifold, also an HEI distributor.
I am thinking about a mild cam, how do you select a cam?
What size of carb?
To make sure the block is good, i am having the block cleaned & magnaflux.
What else should be done on the block while it is at the shop.
Eventually, the transmission will either be a 5 speed manual, or a 4 speed auto.
Will it be sufficient to lap the valves, or should the shop do some work with the head?
I am just looking a direction to start with. Any help is appreciated.
Ken
