We are getting "Ole Blue" unloaded and a few things done. Try and get the 235ci 6 cylinder unstuck! Also struggle to get the tailgate removed. Ole Blue is our barn find 1957 Chevy pickup 3200 that we got from a fine gentleman whose family he has been a part of for over 60 years! Ole Blue was built in Atlanta Georgia with a 6 cylinder and a 3 on the tree! I plan to Ls swap the truck with an aluminum 5.7 or LS1 and probably a built 4L80E... But I'm on the fence about a Muncie 4 speed, either a M20 or M21. I love shifting gears, but being a daily driver, the auto may be better. Heads/ cam Ls1 with a little nitrous, just a pump gas motor. Tick Performance Polluter camshaft and all the necessities that come with it. I've got an awesome set of 15x6 and 15x8 slotted mags to run on the truck.

When the Chevrolet six-cylinder engine was introduced back in 1929 the attaching bolts for the tin on the engine used what was called "stove bolts" and that is where the term "stove bolt six " came from. In fact, when the 265 was introduced in 1955 the attaching bolts for the tin was "stove bolts". They are actually a pain in the ass as they were of course slotted screws with a large head (1/4 x 20 thread). The bolts being a 7/16 head are naturally more convenient, but they can be overtighten and of course stretch the holes in the tin.

Love the twins, I'm restoring a 57 3100 but old school 283 and cast power glide. Won't be fast but it doesn't have to be.

When you were having to cut the trunion bolt out, i took a small screwdriver and stuck it in the little hole and got mine out.

There is a guy getting 800 bucks out of those straight sixes and other engines. Put them on a pallet. Take a few pictures and put them on this auction. And they sell like hotcakes according to him. If they're running you can almost get double that. According to him. If you're interested let me know I'll give you the information of what channel to tune into. And if you figure out what the auction is if you could kindly let me know I appreciate it too. I've never taken the time to try to figure it out. I am assuming if you fail to look long enough he'd find out just by hunting where you could find one of these engines for sale. It sounds like you get paid for the shipping on top of that. Not a bad deal for no 6 cylinder and somebody else gets what they want for their ride. All the same. Congrats on the 2 57 s.

Sounds like a pretty good price, I’m going to try and getting running before we pull it just for fun

That’s a good idea, rebuild kits are cheap though, I’ll pull it apart and if the gaskets don’t shred I’ll just blow it out and give it a shot
