    So I have to ask, why do you hate I6 motors?

      Don't you DARE think of doing away with that 292. If you wanted to go fast, would you start with a C60 truck? I'm thinking a couple or three one barrels, headers, maybe finned aluminum side covers, good to go. Besides, ever hear of Leo Santucci? Try telling him six-in-a-row is not the way to go.
      When doing that floor, make sure you keep the removable trans tunnel. That is, if you ever intend on removing the trans.

        The Big Six is there to stay. It was weird, when I was degreasing and cleaning the head last weekend I kept looking for the other one. :D

          Think of the plus side of keeping the six, its only one head to heave over the radiator, minus gunk it might weigh the same as the V8 head.

            Just finished rebuilding said single head. :D

            Valves lapped, new valve seals installed, springs and retainers locked and loaded.

            Just waiting on the effin rings.

              Does that mean the UPS man will get a cussing if he drives by your house more than once tomorrow?

                Remember the line from the movie dodge ball?

                "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."

                I have a stack of wrenches waiting.

                  It's really no different than trying to glue them back on after she has her way.

                    You should have taken the ones I have and just given me the ones that come in, if they ever do. That job would have been done by now. :-\
