I really want one for a daily driver.
Are parts hard to find? What kind of gas milieage are they capable of and with what trannies?

Re: where are all the 6 bangers?
 
Im getting around 13ish mpg with a 3 speed. Last fill up with a tune up was 13.6 mpg.
Daily driver too.

Couldn’t tell you what the gas mileage is, my speedometer is disconnected. Floor shift mechanism is in the way, it’s on my list.

My 6 is the integrated head 250, but I do have an older 250 head and most all the other parts I need to convert it.

My grill emblem is a 454, I tell folks it is a 454, minus 204.

Mine is sitting on the side of the house, just removed the 250 due to a blown head gasket. Pulled the integrated head off, the exhaust manifold was cracked 2/3's of the way around just in front of the heat riser. Took a good look at the block deck and found a crack in the block about two inches long.:smoke:

Pulled the block and layed it to the side, pulling a 350 from another truck to replace it. First part of the transformation.

In fact my truck is the exact same color as Mr79C10, don't have any pic's as of yet. I guess this is a great time to start.

s10fan--
I know I've said it before, but I really love that truck. That is exactly what I want--an early 70s stepside with a straight six--perfect daily and I need a stepper to complete my collection.
My wife would leave me...

I'll miss her.

Maybe one day someone will put one of those 5 cylinder (in line) with an overdrive. It would be interesting to see how the power and fuel mileage would work out in an old square body. A buddy has a new Colorado with one in there and he loves the power and mileage plus the way it cuts back on the cylinders when not under a load.

That's a bada$$ looking truck there, S10. I have a 350 in my '73 that I've never heard run(not sure how good it is). If it happens to be bad, I have a fresh 250 on a stand in the corner of the shop that I'll put in...if need be. I like them old sixes...:chevy:

Thanks! Ya know, I'm a V8 guy to the core but there's something really cool about in-line 6's.

Re: where are all the 6 bangers?
 
man, i can't wait to get my hands on a square body with a six!

i would guess with an overdrive muncie and a set of headers and a clifford performance intake it would scoot! probably get decent mileage too

Keep 'em comin! I know there are more inliners here.
