That will be a good thing. Put me on the list. I think your already on the list. Tom will be in charge of distribution. Evidently I'm on a lot of lists. Getting on good ones seems to be a problem.

It really is, just waiting on Tom to collate the data in an order he wants it flow in so I can configure it into a ready to print format for the printer.

CNC Dude that reminds me to get the first stovebolt book from you also. The one with the 56 Chevy on the cover. Will you be kind enough to let us know when they can be had? Any rough idea? Thanks Jay 6155 Jay, im just polishing up a few last minute details with the cover design and some final pics for the Stovebolt book. I already have my first book published and in my hands about a month ago, so im ready to start cranking out more and more, as the demand has never been higher for them than now. Yummy new book to digest. Where will it be available?

Quick update: the gentleman I bought the 194 head from on ebay (Mr HotRod) was kind enough to give me a call and discuss all things Inline 6; learned alot! Was pretty awesome hearing stories about the some of the smart dudes, past and present, and their part in making this a pretty cool little community. Just wanted to publicly thank him even though he doesn't blog, thank you sir!!
Still haven't made it home to do anymore work on the project truck, Navy is a busy place nowadays!!

MBHD Hank, As soon as I get home I will post some pics. I'm down in San Diego for a few more weeks and then I should (fingers crossed) have a chance to head back home to the Valley and hopefully make some progress on the project truck. I believe the head was checked for cracks, cleaned, new frost plugs installed, surfaced on both the cylinder head side and the intake/exhaust side. I haven't even unwrapped it from shipping yet. The plan is to take the head and pics of the procedures I'd like performed to my buddy Richard @ WCCH in Reseda.

He usually sells his heads with all the cleaning and checking done to them like, magnafluxing, pressure testing, etc...Just gets them prepared to go to the next step by the buyer.

Moregrip, Sounds good. You could give the head to Richard, but most likely Dave is the one going to do the work.  MBHD

Update: All stop! Currently work has taken over all my spare time as well as the foreseeable near future. Hopefully I'll get some time to start working on her again towards the end of summer. fingers crossed! On a positive note,............that gives me a chance to purchase a few additional goodies for the build

ok folks I'm back at it!
It only took me 3 years, a military retirement, a move to another state, and a new project truck to get me back to this point!
Loooong story!
I'm still as passionate as I was to build a nice 250 inline 6!
Only problem is now I'm on the hunt for a solid short block! Unfortunately that didn't make it in the move......
Good to be back!

Is your intentions on the build the same as they were originally or have they changed any?

There's a wrecking yard up the way from me with a running 250 in an '84 truck. IntegratedJay was interested in the Varajet head and exhaust. Northern Illinois area. I gotta check what they wanted to pull it.

Looked it back up again. The boneyard wants $300 (plus tax) for the running '84 truck 250. IntegratedJay said he wanted the Varajet head and exhaust for it, but didn't suggest how much of the $300 he would cover. It's in northern Illinois and you are in southern Nevada, and I have no travel plans to the west in the future. PM if interested.

Indeed. I have a brother in Ohio I can send the head with to IntegratedJay, but I don't know anyone traveling that way with a truck or trailer. If we can find someone going that way, it makes it possible. I'm also assuming it's still in the boneyard, it was there a month ago and I was the only one who asked on it.

Ive got a 250 short block which i pulled out the crank (have the 230 crank). About 1975. Rusty, the cylinders have some minor corrosion, stock pistons. Ive got pictures somewhere.
You can have it, but I'm in Washington state.

Thanks guys! Just got back from a family vacation and found my 250 shortblock attached to a chevy C10 truck I bought on the drive home! Here is a pic of the engine bay. 250 inline 6 with 83k original miles; someone had removed the cylinder head previously to me purchasing it and went ahead and knocked a hole in the piston while removing it otherwise this would have been a ready to run motor. Luckily I saved my old non integrated inline 6 head from my old truck build.

I'm curious as to how somebody could have punctured the piston during a head removal? Could be the potential buyer got mad at the potential seller for not coming to terms on the cost?

Between unconventional techniques and ham-fisted execution I could see Red managing to punch hole during head removal . . . Heck he pulls engines to perform an oil change
