This book will provide you with everything you need to know to rebuild the Chevy six for power on the street, strip, or other racing applications. Author Leo Santucci has been building, hot rodding, and racing six-cylinder Chevrolets for the past 40 years. He has researched everything written on sixes during that time. You will benefit from his interviews with many six-cylinder stars including Glen Self, Cotton Perry and the late Kay Sissell, Jim Headrick, and "California Bill" Fisher. However you plan your modification, from mild to wild, this book will help you to use the inline six's inherent advantages to beat the competition, and discover modification secrets known only by a few engine builders. Finally, you will learn about the team that made the 292 CID such a terror on the drag strip that the sanctioning body finally did away with the class! You will find chapters on: planning your project, block identification and selections, machining, oiling system modifications, crankshaft and timing gears, rods, pistons & bearings, gaskets, sealing & hardware, camshaft design, cylinder head, fuel, exhaust & manifold design, ignition, supercharging, turbocharging, and nitrous oxide.
