60 Chevy 235 Refurbished 

Perfect Timing!! Ary don’t forget to re-torque the head.

👍👍👍👍🤝🤝

It's just cool knowing that an old truck like this can have its engine blown apart and put back together in a matter of a few days!

Nice looking too, I painted my intake the same color . Mine is a 1958 6 in a 1950 truck. Painted the motor grey with a red valve cover. Enjoyed this, working on an oil pressure issue right now. In the 1950 the pan clears easy, but getting at the oil pump is really hard.

Nice job Ary! Git that ol' Stovebolt back together. I'm sorry but the jute twine reference is hilarious. Those old broadcasters like Walter Winchell et al were so over the top.

Hard work and good friends equals success. The 6 lives for another day.

But did you check the gear for runout after pressing on the cam?

That was one of the issues with the 235 is the heads were heavy and cracks were found after rebuild, then chevy designed the 230cid with a lighter head and 140hp but it is mounted on the side not the front.

My dad had a 1960 Apache 10, short and narrow, with a 235. Bought it in 1961 off a lot for $800. I guess it didn't last long. Sent a rod through the block. He found a used bus engine, a 261, for $100 in the newspaper and swapped the motors. Ran the truck that way for the next 12 years before he bought a new truck. I remember my Dad's truck had 3 on the tree with a pull knob overdrive. Does your truck have the overdrive, Ary?

Also an internally regulated alt will bolt right in place of the original. Order an alt for a 1979 C30. You may need to clock the cases and you can even run dummy wires to the voltage regulator if you wanted it to look original. I have the voltage regulator off mine I'll never use if yours ever craps. The contacts in them get corroded, they may need adjustment, but they usually they don't "go bad"

Hola mi hermano te escribo desde Venezuela y quisiera preguntarte que por dónde le pongo el reloj de presión de aceite ,,,no veo donde ubicarlo y poderlo supervisar desde el tablero

Yep, had a check stuff moment myself, funny thing was it was running so good. Hope they hold on for us 👍

Glad you got the old Stovebolt back together, now run it another 50k miles. Nice job Ary, I was thinking about you while I was driving my 55 Chevy Truck the other day, check out the video. 🫵🏼💯🆒🇺🇸🇺🇸

It's unfortunate that it broke down. We were all waiting for updates and now to see it all done is bad ass. .. Alba got your back 👍👍

Wherenis the first startup 😢

The Mantis Abides

Hooray! She’s back!!!!

From Tears to Glory!!

SHE LIVES!!!!! Yeah, Cloytes quality is long long gone. I've had 2 of those that the center hole was cast off center (and one of them was stamped USA) so I quit using them. Melling is dang good stuff. The infamous number 6 push rods...... yeah.... and setting that 100lbs head under the dugout without spitting the gasket..... yeah.... I've actually seen a lot of those push rods that are bent because that that. It's not easy at all to do all that "in car", but you got it and SHE LIVES!!!!!! Oh... me and Cousin Mike did find 2 of those exhaust manifolds..... but both of them are cracked in the same place as yours. Ug. We tried Brother Ary.
