Dear Members,
I currently own 5 vehicles (vans) with 250 and 292 engines from the late 60's and early 70s
My chevy P-10's are all equipt with the same drivetrains for the most part.
Inline 6's (either 250's or 292's) with a turbo 350 tranny.
A while back I had a 292 inline 6 given to me that was removed from a 1967 chevy truck.
I had the motor sitting around for a while and then I had a local machine shop rebuild it.
$1600.00 later I put it in one of my step vans and since day one it has run HOT....I'm talking almost into the red all the time.
I have tried all the obvious...timing, waterpump, thermostat, radiator, gauge, mixture,
I even took the engine back out of the truck and had the machine shop disassemble it and they found nothing.
HAS ANYONE EVER HAD THIS HAPPEN???
now remember...I have one other 292 in my other step van and it runs cool...and all my other 250's all run cool too.
See if you can rack your brains on this and let me know what you can find out.
Thanks so much
Mr70s
