I've got a 38 1/2 ton I'm doing the same thing with. I'm using a 58 235 that
I'm going to leave all the internals original and just use bolt on stuff ie
Fenton period headers offenhauser or 3x1 54 vette sidedraft 3x1 carb setup.
Langdons Stovebolt is who I've been using for technical assistance they seem
to be real knowligable about breathing some life in to that old Stovebolt.
I'm also going with an s10 5 speed with OD so I can get some highway speed
and decent mileage. what I'm trying to achieve is a stock appearance with a
bit of performance but not modifying in such a way as that if I ever want to
go back totally stock I can. ie I'm not going
to subframe but if I decide I'm not happy with the way stock suspension
handles I might consider volare or
mustang II supension at a later date.

Subject: [oletrucks] Beefing Up My 235
>Okay all you motor experts and era hotrodding experts. I have a '54 Chevy
3100 with the 235 straight six in it. I want to "hot rod" it a little, but
only to the era...don't want to put new-fangled stuff on it. Any
tips/suggestions/criticisms and books on the subject that you can recommend
would be much appreciated.
