Re: [Chevelle-List] 6 cyl. motors

I think you can still get parts for a 250 & make pretty decent hp but am not sure about the 194. I doubt you could make 250hp & keep it streetable/dependable though.  I think a healthy 6 would be different & pretty cool though. Don OK Guys,       This may sound a little strange, but hey, I'm a little strange. I have a 65 Malibu that is still mostly stock. I was toying around with swapping the engine to a small block, but now I have a new idea. I may decide to keep the 6 if I can build it to a semi respectable power level. I'm not looking to drag race, just be able to lay a little rubber down now and again. I've seen a 4 barrel Offenhauser intake in J.C. Whitney, but no headers or anything. Does building a 250 HP 194 C.I.D. engine sound unreasonable to you guys?? I just think it would be cool to pop open the hood and still have the 6 in there, and the car not be a dog is all. I realize i probably just opened myself up to some harassment here, so be gentle.  :) Thanks all. Dan McIntosh      65 Malibu
