Amazing machine! In 1959 (19 Y0), I rebuilt a 1949 straight-six with scored cylinders. It had to be bored out to .60 over to clean up the scoring. This wasn't a performance build, just to put a better engine in a '46 Chevy PU. As I recall, it had splash oil pickups on the rod bearings; I installed them correctly the first time. It was too tight to starter-crank and I had to hand-crank it for several minutes to get it to run. Fortunately, the oil flow was sufficient to keep it from seizing. It was a blast finding the parts and a wonder it ran the first time.

[@MegaMeaty]

You can get these at any junkyard for pennies. Now doing what they did to it did not cost pennies. I have seen cheap builds getting a reliable 350-400hp with cheap piston, and internal upgrades, and a large diesel turbo. I think most of the builds were about 2200 dollars. I would like to do an inline 6 build for industrial machines I have, but I live somewhere the roads are a sheet of ice half the year so we don't really do hotrods. I am more into 2 cycle stuff where we are just making toys, and we all drive electric cars. Small engines are easy to tinker with, cheap, and just as fun. This was an incredible build with tight tolerances. My first inline 6 I got for 150 bucks. I changed the Head gasket at 15yo, and did upgrades, and it fired up the first crank. The build they did could easily do 700hp if you push it. I like their build philosophy at keeping it at 4600RPM- makes that build bulletproof. That thing will make reliable HP for as long as you can still get fuel for it.

Wow I had a 76 elco with the 250 cube straight 6 We ditched the carter for a high flow twin Weber, cut and welded and made a dually with 2x twin Webers (down drafts) and changed out stock cam for a “town and country” grind with solid instead of hydraulic lifters. We then fitted a custom made tube extractor manifolds and that few mods changed that Elco into a reasonable sleeper in 78. As students at the time it was a labour of love by my father and friends that we made a plan because there was no issue with money. Theres only an issue with money if you got some. We didnt have any. I was working 4 jobs to pay my tuition. So the Elco was an old sleeper in the true sense of the word. Scratch mods sounds about right cause we scratched around to do anything. And while the Elco was being worked on everytime, we resorted to mans ancient transport- boot 🥾 power... But it was a hoot Loved that car. Sold it with 325,000 miles on it and the motor had never been opened for repair work. Enjoyed this, wish i had 525 hp back then, not sure if there was anything that would have caught me(with the 3 speed stick shift) Keep on keeping on

Unbelievable! That torque coming on right off the get go and not really having to spin it up much would be a lot of fun on the street.

Stovebolts are quite simply 1/4 by 20 UNC bolts. Virtually universally used by cast iron stove manufacturers back in the day.FWIW, what we now call UNC was an engineering standard adopted by the US Navy in the late 19th Century. Stovebolt Chevy engines use 1/4 by 20 fasteners as a default on valve cover and lifter covers and I believe the pan as well. Hardware store bolts can serve,but the GM bolts were better material than that.

[@patrickshaw8595]

My Dad - who was born in 1917 and grew up familiar with these 1927 < up engines - said that the fact that the flimsy cover for the oil pump itself was held on with these low strength, low precision machine screws was astonishing to mechanics used to engines having more precise and more expensive construction. What you have to realize is that only truck and racing car engines had pressure-lubed connecting rod journals back then. Typically a splasher hooked under one rod bolt swung down and splashed oil everywhere inside the engine and some found it's way through a hole or two holes in the side of the big end of the rod to lube the crankpin. If you ever work on one of the very old design Wisconsin THD or TJD upright twin cylinder industrial engines you will see a much shorter splasher formed as part of the con rod cap - with an oil feed hole right above it. The camshaft on those engines ran a simple vertical plunger-pump that picked up oil from the bottom of the pan and lifted it into small elevated troughs positioned so the short splashers could make contact with that oil. That vertical plunger pump just lifted oil a few inches - there was no pressure as such. It's bore was made half in the block and half was a piece of tin bent into a half-pipe with ears. Stove bolt machine screws were good enough to hold the tin cover/half-the-plunger-bore to the cast iron block. (Surprising experienced mechanics of the day. Hey Model T Fords used the oil splash off THE FLYWHEEL DIPPING IN THE BACK OF THE OIL PAN, and finding it's way by sheer chance into a FUNNEL AND PIECE OF COPPER TUBING to gravity - lube THE MAIN CRANKSHAFT BEARINGS. Compared to that - the Chevy Six was much more modern !

[@outinthesticks1035]

@@patrickshaw8595 been a while since I've been in one of these , but if I recall correctly the dipper was a funnel that caught oil and forced it into the crank oil galleries . If oil was cold then it was to thick to be forced into the galleries , if you over revved it then the oil in the pan didn't have time to flow into the channel created by the dipper and it ran dry

At the time, expenses were a limiting factor. I wish I could have let him make some of the mods he proposed, but it was not to be. He might have come up with 250 HP out of that 230. That would have been fun. As it turned out, he provided me with a very competent running nearly stock engine, but it provided many years of running. My son "inherited" the pickup which did not outlast the engine. Last I heard he was pulling that engine for another application.

Wow the attention to detail. Even the accessories on the front look perfect.

[@robertreavley7145]

What a great idea! The ingenuity in this build is at the top of the tree for quality and professionalism! Yet again you’ve put together a great video that never fails to impress anyone who watches it! Thanks again HPM!! Love it!!!

[@modeverything1]

That's awesome! Love the non mainstream custom builds!

[@therainforest4314]

Finally!!! Finally someone does a beautiful restoration on that old Suburban, and they get the wheels/tires right, instead of jacking the truck up even higher and putting on ridiculously big in diameter and ridiculously wide off-road tires with white lettering, like so many people can't resist. Nice job!!! :)

Thats the most intense Stove Bolt I have ever seen.

[@Brock_Landers]

Wow, way to go Keith! This engine is an absolute work of art with all of the custom pieces and your touches on it.

[@jakebarron4127]

Ive never seen such incredible craftsmanship.

[@alexfraser8506]

What an awesome build! Such a great example of craftsmanship! Looking forward to the next one!

[@rigsey6003]

Incredible how nice it looks, it's a piece of art, and the sound is like music. What an awesome build!

[@coreyrowe2052]

Awesome build! I love unique, off-the-wall engines like this👍👍👍

[@rbmwiv]

This is a really cool build. Not just another LS. All the work arounds are genius.

[@tenman7242]

A true engine building genius. I wonder how many he has put together with that old torque wrench he uses. If that thing could talk, man the stories. Great video..

[@naradloff]

I am always drawn to one of a kind engine builds. Especially if they are typically unloved/unsupported in the aftermarket. The Ford 300 and GM Atlas engines immediately come to mind. Straight 6s always have a place in my heart.

[@13window]

Wow, this is old 6 next level ,, great build for sure.

[@_..-.._..-.._]

I appreciate the old engine, but an Atlas 4200 would look so sexy set up like this!

[@ivananderzen5287]

I thought this was an old 70s straight six then you said stovebolt and tears came to my eyes😂

[@gary9127]

My dad and I ran into a guy that was in Modesto CA for graffiti night( this was in late 80s before the city ruined it) he had a bucket t roadster. But instead of the usual small block, it had a Mopar slant six. Had a decent cam and a set of dual fours. It was of course all motor. Which I prefer anyway.

[@philljustphill1656]

twin turbo itb stovebolt? holy crap!

[@robertking1036]

KUDOS TO A TRUE INNOVATOR AND EXPERT ENGINE BUILDER. 👍✌

[@enso3140]

Amazing project and awesome to see some straight sixes getting some deserved loved. As much as here in Brasil we are quite used to see gen3 straight sixes being tuned to over 2000hp levels on stock blocks and heads it is simply amazing to see how this build manage to perfectly mix the old school look and modern tech would love to build something similar one day with a gen 3 especially with a crossflow head

[@MrPaige222]

Are you SERIOUS? 2, 000 horses out of a straight SIX? Please make a video. I'd LOVE to see that! Nothing much shocks me anymore, but THAT sure would. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Definitely make a video.

[@enso3140]

​@@MrPaige222 kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5qof5erja-crKs 2200hp actually on stock blocks and heads with reinforcement plates And the current record is 7.155 at the 1/4 mile on a h pattern manual

[@Grumpy_CBG]

@@MrPaige222 search the Aussie ford "Barra" i6 motors, they're getting over 2000 bhp outa those too.

[@MrPaige222]

@@Grumpy_CBG That is just plain UNBELIEVABLE. Thanks for the information. I can't wrap my head around the fact that a straight 6 250 cube STOCK block and heads that came from the factory putting out 170 horsies is capable of 2200 with just those modifications.

[@suprafahrer6453]

Respect to these gentlemen. Great engines that as the narrator stated, lack of aftermarket support, but these guys have outdone themselves. Greetings from Austria.

[@usjosharmy]

One of the coolest builds yet!!!
