Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines 216,early 235 chevy

Hi everyone,

All you projects sound really cool!

here I will tell you a little more about my project.What its going to be is a ModelA frame with a I beam suicide front end ,a 40s Ford bango rear with the axle tubes swapped from opposite sides to put the spring in front of the rearend.Split wishbones 40s ford brakes ,early Ford (32-48) trans with the adapter to put the 216/early 235 Chevy to it.Body is a 31 Model A cowl ,quarters smoothed to give a roadster pickup body look. It will look like a late 40s modified.I always loved the Chevy 6s ,so I decided to use one instead of a flathead V8.

Jack- I find it hard to find a good motor in our area(central,FL). I would love to find a 235 HI-torque motor ,or even the basic 216. Oh yeah ....you just got to love the sound of a Chevy 6 with straight pipes or Smittys mufflers!!
