New here, just arrived. I have a 50 Chev. deluxe cab pickup, passed on from my dad. Getting ready to take it down to the frame. I want to build it into a streetrod. Everyone has a small block V8, to be different I would like to build an inline GM six with a Procharger blower for street use, no racing. I prefer fuel injection and computer management over carburetor, but could live with a carb if I had to. Would like street manners in an engine that wakes up when nailed cause I like to smoke em once in a while.
Has anyone tried this combination, or anything similar? It has a 235 now, but I would lean toward a GMC 292 or later engine. Any tips, suggestions, info. greatly appreciated.
I am a retired railroader/machinist, spent 36 years playing with BIG Diesels in locomotives. Am fortunate to be located in Peculiar, MO, home of Pete & Jake's Hotrod Shop and Superbell Axle Co.
