@FuelInjectionSucks Note: I'm not saying that I LIKE new engines...I much prefer a low-po older-school mill. But there's no denying the power/economy of new, electronic, gizmo-ified engines.
-
@FuelInjectionSucks Yeah, probably...I just wanted to be generous to the poor auld thing. =).
Let's say, the HP numbers for late-model vehicles are nothing short of ridiculous compared to anything from several decades ago, let alone from earlier than that. I have a feeling that piston engines have gone just about as far as they ever will, even if fuel supplies last. You know things have changed when the car mags bitch because the new Corolla has "only" 150HP from a 1.8L 4-banger!

@justforever96 200 is really overly optimistic. If it's a 235, it probably has about 120hp at the crank. Well, thats what it had when it was new.
It could also be a 261, but that's it. That is a "stovebolt" engine for sure, which means it's not a 250 or 292.

Film it once you put a battery in it, the cranking. Maybe it will start.

crapy interior

wow looks like its in much better shape than my old '55 grain truck
-
its FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING LOL

Both the 292 and the 250 were DAMN good engines! My dad used to have a '78 C-10 with a 250 and a Saginaw 3-speed. That's what I learned to drive in.

I love these old beasts, back before everyone was obsessed with horsepower (not that HP is a BAD thing =). Just a little I-6, probably barely broke 200HP, yet it lugged that big old piece of steel AND it's load around just fine. You just couldn't do 80mph in it. It's just so funny to pop the hood, and be able to climb inside and close it on yourself, if you wanted too. With modern vehicles, you're lucky when you can find a nook to stuff an oil rag into under the hood!

@justforever96 Isn't that the truth! I find it humorous that the speedometer goes up to 100. It might do that, downhill or if you pushed it with something!
I've heard almost nothing but praise for the good old GM I6, and I hear that people do frequently build them for massive low end torque output.

Checked out your video, liked it. Will be watching for more. Soon as I get the time, I'll be trying to start and quite possibly drive this beast.

That actually looks like a 235 not a 292. The easiest way to tell.. which is hard to see from the video, but the covers on the passenger side of the engine that cover the pushrods are 2 different lengths.
The 292 covers are about 6 inches tall, whereas the smaller 230, 235 and 250 engines have about a 3 inch tall cover. The engine compartments on all C and K series trucks were the same, and the 292 valve cover sticks up almost to the top of the round area in the firewall.

I'll check it out. Thanks for the info. I talked to my grandpa, who owns it, and he was pretty sure it was a 292. But I'll check, because I'd like to know for sure.
