By way of introduction, I'm a new member and I have three inline sixes: a 1955 Chevrolet 235 (in a '55 Chevy 1st Series pickup truck), a 1956 GMC 302 in a '37 Chevy pickup truck) and a 1991 Jeep 4.0 liter (in a 1991 Wrangler Renegade).
This thread is about the Stovebolt 235. I am in the mock up stage and haven't torn the engine down yet. At first I wasn't going to do much to the engine other than add the blower kit and replace seals because it's a street truck and I don't do much rompin' stompin' in it but, mission creep being what it is, we're beyond that now and am going to beef up the engine internals a bit if I can locate a good machinist.
I maintain a log on my website and here is a link to the first log entry for this build -

This is Terra incognita for me but I am a geezer and slower than a glacier and maybe I may learn enough along the way to protect me from the big mistakes. Any help is appreciated.
