Can anyone tell me about the Chevy 250/292 Straight 6

Holy Zombie Thread!

And the crazy part was I was thinking about this thread the other day.

I've started looking up pre-88 GM trucks. How hard is it to boost and squirt one of these?

they make a cast iron exhaust manifold with a t4 flange....

Since this thread came back to life, I'll contribute. I learned to drive a manual on my Dad's '77 C10 with the 250 ci straight six and a three on the tree. The motor had plenty of torque and pulled well, but the enormous gap between 2nd and 3rd really let the truck down.

daggum. I didn't even look at the dates!

any new news?

In reply to Hungary Bill:

No new news. I never bought the truck. He wanted too much for it. I wanted to offer him $500 for it, but he was pretty firm at $1800. It's not even worth that. It needs brake lines, tune up, and the body is rusting through on all the typical places on a late 70's Chevy.

One of the Saturday moning car shows built one a few years ago, Trucks! maybe. Black block, brass freeze out plugs, two 2-barrels, header; torquey as hell.
