Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines BUY A 53 OR 58 CHEVY 235 SIX CYL?

While you are out looking around, don't overlook the GMC pickup. In the 50s and up until 1962, they used a 261 cu in six that is a honey. It is a close relative of the 216/235 Chev six and will bolt into the same cars.

In Canada they installed the 261 in Pontiacs as well as GMC pickups. A 261 Pontiac could outdrag a 283 Chev up to 40 or 50 MPH.
