- -> > for the 194 Chevy six in the storage shed. Only 30,000 miles
- ...
- -> Don't do that! Just deck it out fifties style: Fenton headers,
- -> Offenhauser manifold with 3 deuces, finned aluminum everything else.

- Yeah, but the 194 was the first "new generation" six, introduced in
- 1962. Hard to be real fifties with that. You're probably thinking of
- the 216 and 235, which hauled around millions of old Stovebolt Chevies
- and their hifalutin' Corvette cousins. Remember, the first year
- Corvette used the Blue Flame Six. It's a mighty piece of iron indeed,
- as heavy as most big blocks.
-
- Which brings me to a question - I *had* considered putting a manifold
- and stuff on it, because gas mileage really sucks. 14.5 highway.
- Mainly it's the one barrel downdraft Rochester carb, the one that looks
- like a Porta-Potti. Works about as well, too. Yuk. Anyway, someone
- used to make a 3x1 manifold for the 235, but I can't find one anywhere.
- Clifford Research doesn't make one, nor does Offenhauser. Man-A-Fre
- used to, and I thought they had gone out of business long, long ago...
- but I just read something about Man-A-Fre just the other day. Does
- anyone have an address?
