The HorsePower guys come to the aid of their neighbors on Trucks! Their vintage 1948 Chevy pickup needs a new engine. It's a six-cylinder 235 cubic inch Chevy that gets machined, rebuilt and dynoed by Mike and Joe. Plus, a new Taurus SHO gets more "go" with some simple upgrades.

Dub magazine. How to ghettofy a car and waste a pile of cash at the same time.

You need to fact check and not try act like you know what you’re talking about. Some of us old timers forgot more about these engines than you will ever know!

That DUB Taurus is one of the worst things I've ever seen. Glad the popularity of that style has died down a lot.

Got a rebuilt 235 engine coming for my '53 Chevy pickup,dual carbs, mild cam with solid lifters, dual exhaust header and HEI distributor. I already have the S-10 T5 transmission in it, should be sweet. Many of my friends said I should have just put a 350 V8 in it. Yeah, like everybody else does, besides , I love these old inliners, plus they have incredible torque at low RPMs.

I'm 72 years old and played with both the 216 and 235 engines a lot when I was your basic hot rod kid. It was fun to watch this rebuild.

That year Chevy had a 216, not a 235.

Nice to see this thing revived. Can't wait to see the performance. As much as like hp this is a work horse engine and economy both. As a daily driver it could drive or work ALL DAY LONG. SO COOL.

I grew up in a 1951 Chevy car. My dad and I were going along when the composites gear broke and the vacuum powered wipers went crazy. My dad and Uncle rebuilt the engine.

I had a 235 six. put the header on it. lost a ton of heat in the winter. but I did get into trouble. straight pipe off of headers. I squeezed every ounce out of my 235. with manual transmission. :-)

Don’t forget the orifice sized fitting for that oil tube in the lifter galley. If you replace it with a standard fitting you will loose oil pressure in the engine.

That old Chevy looks beautiful while that Taurus looks like a typical fuddy duddy car that makes you yawn.

Factory adjustment on a 57 235 hydraulic lifter is 1.5 turns from zero lash. Where did you get a half a turn?

looking for a part called the oil distributor valve, as mine is not working, to get oil to the top of the rockers, or is there a way to bypass this valve to get oil to top and bottom. i have a 1950 chevrolet truck 3100 with a 235 engine thanks.
