I bought a 68 GMC awhile back and to my astonishment it had V6 in it, I didnt even know they made a V6 back in the 60's but anyway and this thing was HUGE, if I remember correctly it was close to 350ci but looked more like a bigblock.
The motor ran fine but knocked like the dickens, the guy I bought it from had the entire engine rebuilt but something went awry in the assembly and it spun a rod bearing. This was just too much for the poor fella and he threw in the towel.
I gave him $800 for the truck and had it towed home.
The next day I pulled the pan and just for the helluva it, slapped a new insert on the rod.
Long story short it started knocking again so out it came.
I ended up sticking a junkyard 350sbc in it and selling the truck, I kept that big V6 for many years as a conversion piece in the garage but eventually hauled it off.
Question:
Does anybody on here know anything about these realics?
Are they worth anything? Or just another boat anchor from the past.
I heard famers used to use them for irrigation pumps cause they were so durable.
I was Just curious.
Heres what it looked like.
Thx, Cp
