Show us your in liners.

Show us your six in line engines. I always thought these engines had a ton of personality and charm to spare. I have had many over the years and have fond memories of everyone of them. Here are a few of my in liners and a few of other in liners I have know of over the years. Some of the engines here include 1956 Chev 235, 1957 GM 261, 1957 GMC 302, 60'S Chev 250, 1952 Hudson Twin H and the ones added by the A.T. brotherhood. GM, Ford, Mopar, AMC, Nash, Hudson, Studebaker, Packard, Willy's and the many other countless company's that made these wonderful work horses possible that put the planet on wheels and made it possible for bent eights later. Cheers.

1957 261 GM six. These 261's were put in Canadian issue Pontiac's from 1955 to 1962. These were actually Chevrolet truck motors but were modified in some ways for our Canadian issue Pontiac's. Our 261's never had full flow oil filters like the U.S. jobs as of 1957. All our 261's had hydraulic valve lifter set ups, unlike U.S. truck motors that were all solid lifter. All our 261's were built by McKinnon Industries here in Ontario, Canada.

1957 GMC 302 truck engine in line six with all the 1950's high performance goodies. This vintage hop up six is in a 1932 Chevy coupe.

The owner of this amazing 32 Chev hot rod (Ian Reid) did ALL of the work on the car and he has always been a staunch GM in line six kind of guy. Just a sweet mechanical masterpiece.

250 Chevrolet six with some serious performance hardware. This tried and true Chev six is in a T bucket hot rod. All motor and so little weight on this rig would make it a super flyer.

No doubt this rig would run circles around many V-8's.

Hudson's famous 308 Twin H six. This motor did very well in NASCAR racing from 1951 to 1953. Was the most powerful six for many years and even beat the pants off many V-8's.

Another view of Hudson's famous six.

A very simple and reliable powerplant.

1964 Ford 170 small block six that powered many Falcon's, Mustangs and Econoline's. This is the engine in my younger brother Mike's 1964 Ford Econoline Van.

1962-1964 194 Chevrolet six. In Chevy II model.

230 Willy's Jeep. Around 1963 or so.

1930's Oldsmobile six.

1955 Chevrolet 235 six.

1958 Pontiac 261 six (Canadian model).

1937-1939 Chevrolet 216 six.

1960's Ford 200 six.

1957 GMC 302 six in a 1932 Chevrolet.

1953 Chevrolet 235 six.

1920's Flat head six ?

1962-1964 Chevrolet 194 six.

1953 Chevrolet 235 six.

1956 Pontiac (Canadian model) 261 six.

1953 Chevrolet 235 six.

235 six in a 1937 Chevrolet.

250 Chevrolet six in a 1946-1948 Chevrolet.

1955 Chevrolet with 235 six.

1953 Chevrolet with 235 six.

250 Chevrolet six in a 1938 Chevrolet.

1955 Chevrolet with 235 six.

1968 Chevelle with 230 Chevrolet six. This motor was in my younger brother Mike's Chevelle when he was a very young man.

1958 Pontiac 261. Canadian model.

My Dad's 1963 230ci 140hp 6cyl engine in his Chevy Impala station wagon. Rare inline 6 for an Impala but my Dad wanted it to save on gas and expenses. Ran great for all the years he had it. Mario

Pontiacs All-New 1966 Overhead Cam Engine (OHC6)

Nice posting George. In liners deserve a lot of credit for their contributions to the development of the automobile car engines. My Dad's 63 Impala wagon had the chevy straight 6 235 and it was peppy as well as economical on gas. Cheers! Mario

I have some great pics of my Pontiac OHC 6 in my 1966 Tempest but I can't seem to post a pic of it. Love to help comply with your request George of adding to your thread but it seems all I can do is add text.

Maybe I am missing something.

Let me see if I can figure out a way to do this. Cool idea, thanks!

I'm working on making it possible for anyone to add photos to certain pages, like this one. I had partial success with the GMC 302 drag engine, but that created another problem. Will try something else tomorrow.

Mario, please tell us anything on your dad's 71 Chevelle 250 in liner. She looks real sweet. Do you still have it. I had a 70 Chevelle 300 sedan (2004-2010) with a 250 in liner and man could that sucker move out. Cheers.

Mario on Jan 5, 2021 said:

The 71 Chevelle was a station wagon and Dad was given this car by a grateful neighbor who was moving out of state and did not need it. Dad was always there for family, the neighbors and friends with a helping hand. Later on Dad gave me this car when I needed another car and he bought a new one. A few years later I gave the car to my brother-in-law when he needed a car. This car has gone through the whole family. It was finally sold to someone else and unfortunately we lost track of it.

in liners. The MOPAR 225 was also a leaner.

Does that make it a leaner liner? :-)

Hi George, I just added a picture of my Dad's 1963 inline 6 230ci 140hp from his Chevy Impala wagon. A rarity for an Impala. Cheers! Mario.

Out of 832,600 1963 Impalas sold, 735,900 had V-8 engines and only 96,700 had 6 cyl engines. Cheers! Mario

Mario, as always thankyou for you insightful input. Cheers.

Mario on Aug 21, 2022 said:

6 cyl engines are so easy to work on and can be just as powerful as 8 cyl. I have a V6 in my Jeep Cherokee and get 24mpg and its very powerful. So who's better than me? Cheers!
