It is TINY and it is a CHEVY! So why is a Mopar V8 specialist tearing it apart? For the love of old engines, that's why! Let's spend an afternoon with Nick and Manny as they tear down this piece of automotive history.

I started building cars 35 years ago and got my youngest involved about 8 years ago.
I told him to watch this channel in his downtime.
He is now 19 and can't wait to find his 40s dream car to build.
So far, together we built a Syclone clone and a Grand Prix (which is now for sale to fund the next project.)
Keep up the great work Nick !
Looking forward to the next video.
I rebuilt the 6 in my 1965 Nova over a three day weekend in 1974. I pulled the head off on Wednesday evening and took it to work on Thursday. Our machinist rebuilt it during the day and I brought it home that night. I pulled the engine out and disassembled the engine on Thursday night. It was then cleaning and honing and reassembling all weekend. In those days, the FelPro full engine kit was $9.60. Good video.
Finally!😂. George is very important to the channel. Keep him happy. He is exceptional with what he does.
To me as a viewer and big fan of this show, George is the third leg of a tripod.
I'm on the edge of my creeper waiting on seeing Mr. George's inline 6 on the Dyno. Mr. Nick and Manny have taught me so much in these past six months. Even my sixteen year old daughter is joining in the journey. A true peace unexplained.
These videos bring back so many memories for me. I started working on cars in 1972. Seeing that old "Chevy six banger", and the old Chrysler products is just a treat for me to watch. In 1986, I decided to get an aircraft mechanic's license and then went to work for Delta Airlines. over the years I kept my love for old cars, and always dreamed that one day I'd own an old Firebird, Camaro, or even a Dodge Dart.
One thing i learned growing up in the 60s and 70s...The Inline 6s from Ford ,Chevy ,and Mopar you couldn't kill as long as they had coolant and oil in them ...alot of us learn to drive on them ...and shift on the column too ...Take It Easy...
They served the purpose for which they were designed very well. They were intended to provide reliable and economical transportation for those who didn't need large displacement V8 engines to power cars and light trucks. The Chevrolet 230 had the same bore and stroke (3 7/8 x 3 1/4) as the 307 V8.
@@1575murray Fully agree with you ...Best Regards...
I had a GMC handy van 230 inline 6 2 speed power glide a great little van ran like a top and battery was behind passenger seat just open side door and turn the Handel and there is your battery.
Let's give some love to the AMC inline six that steadily morphed into the 4.0L jeep engine. They used it all they way into the 2006 model year. And tough as nails.
Real engine guys always love the inline 6.
No shame. I think we all had a straight 6 at one time. Great motors.
Right on.
I had a ford 300 fuelie. Torque to beat the band but no top end to that 6 popper.
@@michaeldelora5177 420K on mine, still chuggin along
I had a 300 cid Ford engine that cranked up and ran when it was so cold that the starter could barely turn it. It was almost stopping on every one of the 3 compression strokes it had before it started. I love inline 6 cylinder engines. I've had or worked on Chevy, Ford and Dodge. My favorite was the 292 that my father had.
My neighbor had that in his 70 Nova. It was his grocery getter. Never let him down.
They sure hauled a lot of eggs and bacon over the decades.
I had one in my 1962 Chevy II Station Wagon. Never any problem. Great Engine.
Straight six are so cool... Gramps old 85 ford with the 300 Inline pulling 4 tons on a trailer up the hill in North Bay was so awesome
An hour and twenty minute episode! Perfect cure for the Monday blues.
Exactly
Greetings: This presentation is good example of what I mean by the difference of yesterday's good stuff and 2day's junk. I rebuilt and serviced many of these and the variants. What a pleasure. In the 80s I owned the smaller (194) in a '64 Chevy2. I drove it 3 years with a bad wrist pin. It started every turn of the key...in hot or freezing AZ. Simple maintenance - Points, plugs. cap, rotor, wires, carb rebuild, oil change, filters, belts. I rebuilt the original alternator and starter. It also had factory AC and power assist steering. The little lady always went. Thx 4 the share.
The best part of this engine rebuild is Nick and Many working together. I've missed it. You can tell they have worked together for a long time
Congrats to George for your good fortune having these experts giving the 230 new life. A cheap upgrade would be to drop a 250 crank into it.
Good afternoon Nick & George, Glad to be here to watch the tear-down of George's engine. Six in a row, here we go!!!
Thanks for being here, Eugene. Great catchphrase for the 6!
It's a true workhorse Eugene and it's in the right hands with Nick and the team For George it must be like a dream Big ups yo badself
hi Eugene.
Hi Gene!
Eugene, did you ever get the 500 back?
My parents bought a new 1965 Bel Air four door sedan. It had the 230 and a Slip and Slide with a Powerglide transmission. We had seven kids and even with it loaded with us and a trunk full of groceries, it did damn good. Remember so well that six cylinder moan and that one shift to high. Got to love a two speed auto trans. Such a good car.
Hello Nick. In New Zealand, a lot of the recreational fishing boats had Chevrolet Blue Flame inboard engines, which ran for years. A lot of the Chev Bel Airs and Impalas had straight six engines up until the 64 Impalas arrived here. A few of the straight six Chevy engines ended up with triple Strombergs over stainless steel free flow manifolds with 3-inch straight pipes. Those were the days. Love your videos. They are so informative and interesting. We love your channel in New Zealand.
I drove a C30 wrecker with a 292 4 speed with a granny gear back in Jersey in the 70's. What a work horse, even plowed snow.
A very special build for Nick and Manny. And for us too, we all like George : )
I owned a GMC 250 6 Cylinder in an old Firebird. I had a 300 6 in a Ford F150, and a AMC 6 Cylinder in a Rambler American too! I didn't have any money for a hot car when I was a kid, I loved those vehicles because they got me around when I was broke.
I am excited about this build too, and I'm tickled that you guys are smiling about the job. You gentlemen are artists that work on big dollar classic muscle cars. This motor takes you back and makes you smile. These engines DID build America. This is history you're working on. Nick's Garage is the best.
You guys are going to get 200hp out of that motor!
I was waiting for this teardown. I hope George ends up with a few extras in that engine.
I remember putting a dual carb manifold and headers plus a mild cam in a Chevy 6 230. It ripped it! I feel confident of 200 plus HP.
It's going to get a little love. This may be just 'phase one'.
@@NicksGarage George deserves a little love. He's a great videographer and editor, his mastery of social media is commendable at his (my) age.
I will +1 the Motor's Manuals... they are terrific!!
Sacred texts. 😃
The first engine I rebuilt as a kid was an inline six 200 out of a 66 ford mustang. Would love to see a slant six 225 on the dino also.
Really should put an electronic distributor in and an aluminum intake, with a small four barrel carb and of coarse split exhaust manifold and dual exhaust. Great video guys.
That would be a future thought. George has it in his mind.
George’s engine! Finally!
Yes!
The good old days, when all the major manufacturers made good, durable inline 6's.
AMC, Ford, GM and Ma with the slant 6 - all were tough old rascals when even a little
maintenance would outlast the body of the car they were installed in.
Engines weren't disposable then - heck, cars weren't disposable in general.
Congrats George!
- Ed on the Ridge
Thanks Ed. Glad to see you here for this one.
"Elegant simplicity" is the only way I can describe these engines. They were designed for reliability and durability. These were built in an era where the farmer pulled it off of the irrigation pump and rebuilt it himself in the barn. They were designed from the get-go to be easy to work on, using simple tools. If only modern cars and trucks were still this elegantly simple.
Straight 6 workhorse, my grandfather had a 300 ci ford pickup and never let us down.
George: Keeping it reliable. Excellent.
Manny: Don’t use power tools to keep my fingers working and hopefully functioning longer.
Love the straight 6 content. Dyno will be awesome.
Hey from missouri in the u s
Hi Jason.
the slant six was also a legendary engine that lasted thousands of miles and was in production lasted for years.
My father bought me a used 64 Impala, 250 6 cyl, to prevent me from breaking my neck with one of the then abundant muscle cars I could buy in 1973. I had an immaculate 69 roadrunner for $700.00. A midnight blue 64 SS 4spd, $365.00 that would out run the Road Runner. A 62 Impala auto 327 that Sid McKee built for me. The Impala straight six that Dad bought me was indestructible! Believe me, I tried. After we put the 5th 3spd manual in it he said I couldn't drive it anymore. I was a bad son in those days. He was the world's greatest Dad.
Another awesome thing with having a straight 6 is all the room under the hood. Our old pickups were so open that I could stand beside the engine, inside the engine bay. I loved working on a straight 6.
So cool to see George's 6 Banger getting tear down and attention to its road to recovery and back on the road . I know George is Super Happy And Thrilled!!! Right On George!!!!
George is going to be one happy man. Thanks for the video Nick and Manny.
Chevrolet introduced the inline six cylinder back in 1929. It was called the "stovebolt six" because the attaching fasteners for all of the tin (oil pan, timing cover etc.) used 1/4 twenty stove bolts (slotted screws). Even the V8 engines introduced in 1955 used stove bolts on the tin originally. These engines were around 194 cubic inches when introduced and of course graduated up to the 235 passenger and light truck being phased out in 1962. This engine is the replacement six and it also came in 194 cubic inches all the way up to 250 cubic inches. Of course there is also the 292 six which is a taller block engine. These engines are solid engines and they give good service. Interesting to follow this rebuild.
Yes on the dyno Nick, you the Man, Manny too!
That engine family was introduced in 1962 as the 194 in the Chevy II. The 230 was introduced a year later in 1963. Compared to the 235 stovebolt 6 that it replaced it was lighter and shared bore spacing with the small block V8. It also shared the ball stud rocker arms with the V8. My dad had a 1963 Chevy Belair station wagon with the 230 in it. Compared to the 235 that was in his 1957 Chevy it was a gutless wonder. It had a soft camshaft that had to be replaced and overheated when he was towing his 14 FT travel trailer. He replaced it with a 327 V8. In fairness I might have had something to do with the six's demise as I beat the crap out of it!
How many of our pops' station wagons were thrashed in our teenage hands? Thanks for the memories.
hi Dr. Nick, hi Gearge.
Hello there!
AMC guys have been building and racing AMC 6 since they were first introduced. The 4.0 with the 3.8 crank is a mini stroker, with the 4.2 crank is the full stroker. Using the 96-99 4.0 cylinder head with the 0630 casting number.
Years ago, a friend of mine had a big fiberglass boat, with a motor that was inboard. The engine that was in it was a 230 Chevy Straight Six. It was a powerful, and very reliable boat.
so nice to see a chevy straight 6 getting some love !! a 292 will make big numbers with a little boost !
I own a lawn service business, my fleet of work trucks are all 94-96 f-series with the 300cid/ 5-speed drive trains... They're bulletproof, just don't overheat the EFI versions of the 4.9L/300cid...! They're torque makers and do decent on fuel...! I'm a Chevy guy, but you can't beat a Ford 300cid for reliability and efficiency...!!! Thanks for sharing... Keep up your awesomeness...!
Those are great motors. They will last forever. Just like the Chrysler 225 slant six.😊
Yes they are!
In 1969, I had a 1964 Valiant, with a slant 6, push button transmission, as a second car, I had a brand new Yenko Camaro, sitting right next to it, and I loved driving that little Valiant, I could relax, the Camaro was a blast, but you needed eyes in back of your head! LOL Not that I ever drove it foolishly mind you! 🤣🚔👮♂️
Thanks for sharing!
I was watching the NHRA Top Fuel mechanics the other day and they were wearing those same gloves Nick is wearing..go Nick
I HAD to be on time for THIS one!!!!
We're glad you could spend the time with us.
My friend had one amazing engine couldn't kill it
Thanks for the memory.
Hi Nick, Manny, Georges. These 6 inline an make a lot of torque
They sure can. and without winding up.
I had that 230 in a Chevy Biscayne station wagon, with a three speed in the column. It was sooo easy to work on and I was a kid at the time. I drove that thing into the ground and could not hurt that thing. The first thing to give out was that ball linkage. It would pop out and I would just get out and take a hammer and pop it back in like it was a dislocated shoulder. Piece of cake! Oh yeah. The next thing that failed was the valve cover gasket. Easy as pie to install. Later I rebuilt the one barrel carb. Also simple as pie. I could go on and on about its simplicity. It was an overgrown enclosed go-cart.
I owned a 66 Dodge Polara back in the day - 318/2V. My friend had a 67 Biscayne with a 250 six and he very easily passed me at over 110 mph! these six's were torq monsters and top end fast!
Very cool guys! Can't wait to watch this one! Here We Go!
So chuffed that folks are interested in the little six banger.
You guys are priceless, really. You'al may be a little younger than myself. I cut my teeth on these oldies. Thanks for the memories. The old school guy.
We're glad you enjoy watching, Dan.
Back in the day when cars were cars and men had back hair. Tim Allen hohoho. Back when most our families rode around on 6 cylinders. Fantastic!
Men were men and sheep were nervous
I ran a 250 in a 62 Biscayne, 283 pistons, HEI,headers, zero decked, TRW hi performance cam, 3:73 gears with a M22 ( rock crusher). Head port & polished. 1.6 exhuast, 1.840 intake, Holley 350 cfm 2 barrel. Electric fan, carter electric fuel pump. And man ole man was that car a lot of fun. Back then it was always 1/4 mile but in an 1/8 it was quick
hello Nick and all the crew.
Hi there!
My brother-in-law,has a Chev C10, 1965, with a 230. Bored 30 over high compression pistons, lump port head, solid lifters roller rockers, performance cam, Clifford 4 barrel intake, Davis Unified distributor, split headers, dyno at just 300 horsepower
👍👍👍👍👍 good anchor 😀
Many are.
Hi guys, love to see Georges super six get a new life! I'm 75 and I've owned many sixes. I have to say tho, my jeep Cherokee 1982,, was my travel vehicle, ( I worked on the road for decades), and my jeep 4.0 six ran for 360000 miles still ran but was plum wore out. I sold it to a guy who built a murder out of it. I changed my oil n filter every 2,000 miles and put Lucas oil additive every change. It was 4wheel drive as I lived in north Vermont lots of snow. Every six I owned had at least 190000 miles on it. They were work vehicles all. I owned muscle cars too but no one of them did I run even 100000 miles. Not that they wouldn't have but I never owned them long enough. I bought one kept it a year or two then sold it and bought another one. Nice video guys! George great to see your old Chevy get a new heart!!!
I stuck with my 250 in line 6. Got 300000 miles on her and it's never been apart. It's in my 79 impala. If you want to rebuild mine with a little extra power I would love it . Everyone else just wants to make it a boat weight. But it's been great motor
Born in 62. My first car was a 65 Chevy when I was 16. Seeing this brought back a lot of memories
A team effort men, I love it! I dub thee, "The Fellowship of the Piston Rings". This should be a fun little build.😊
I remember that Powernation .. rebuilt an industrial straight 6 cyl and turbo charged it..
Zoom.
Can’t wait to see that “1/2 of a V12” on the Dyno!!!
I went .20 over on my 1957 F100 223 I bought in 1965 and it was plenty strong. When I bought it there was over 200,00 on the clock so the overhaul really showed a boost. I pretty well wore out that engine trying to hot rod it until I traded it in on a 1968 Roadrunner 383 which I did wear out in less than a year. Spent a year in a 1969 Rambler American and then went back to Plymouth with a 1970 340 Duster. Lost my license for a few months and after seeing my insurance go through the roof I settled down a little. I do miss all the engines I worked on those oh so many years ago. Now I even pay to have the oil changed mainly because my joints won't let me get down to drain the oil or up high enough to add any.
Amazing that the engine ran decently with all of that wear! It should run so much better now!
Kalimera Nickolaki from Adelaide Australia. Good to see a bow tie project. Aim for 190hp. Fingers crossed
Thanks for watching in Adelaide, Steve.🇬🇷🇦🇺🇨🇦
Hi Nick, I'm running a 230 in my 1953 Chevy truck.. love it..
Yeah, put on the dyno. Reminds me of a slant six i got from my brother in law 40 years ago that had sludge build up so bad when i pulled the valve cover the rocker arms made imprints in the sludge. Needless to say, it didn't take long for me to vent the block!🤠
Nick in the 70’s and 80’s GM had 250 CI & 300CI straight six engines in the C10 pickups as well the 300 CI was the higher torque version and was a very dependable engine…
Nick and i are the same age so i know he will reitterate what i am saying. I got interested in cars and the greazy part of cars at a young age by watching my father and others turning wrenches. And still today my favorite entertainment on TV are shows such as Nick's Garage. Chilton books and their illustrations don't serve me as actually watching the act of the work. Not just the how to but what tools are used and on what stage of the tear down or put together. So enjoyable. . So, From Louisiana, thank you Nick
This episode was very interesting to me. My first car was a 1961 Bel Air wagon with the 250 and 3 in the tree! Bought it off my grandfather in Saskatoon for $80 in 1982. Loved that car and wish I still had it… very nostalgic!
My first car was a 1951 Chevrolet 1/2 ton pickup with a 1962 Chevy 230 school bus motor that had been rebored with cylinder sleeves. It still had the original 6 volt electrical system.
Great background music George
What an Honor having your engine worked on By the PRO'S
Looking forward to the next chapter in this straight six story - George deserves a refreshed power plant with some performance upgrades - that dyno session will be a treat! ⭐
Can’t wait for the follow up and dyno session. I love straight six engines. They sound real good with glass packs and put the crap made today to shame with unmatched reliability.
i'm another old guy 72, i grew up on these old chevy six my first one was my dad's 52 chevy truck with a utility box on it, it was ugly he told me i couldn't do anything to it that went into one ear and out the other, me and my bunch of fools went to the bone yards got a front clip with a chrome grille and a beautiful short box and then rattle canned the whole truck. i have had near a dozen of those from 49 to 53 and i never had a motor fail me, i still build chevy motors and have one 235 ci straight six with duel exhaust and a 3ace Offenhauser intake. great show Nick look forward to seeing it on the dino.
What a team! BRAVO Nick and Manny!
I had one of those in a 62 Belair. Bought it for $50, knowing it had a spun rod bearing. Pulled the motor and trans as one, pulled the pan off. Had a cast iron 2-speed auto trans. But I think it was a different block than this six that they’re working on here. Took the bearing cap off the spun journal, got a used rod and piston from an auto wrecker (you could swap out the rod and piston from the bottom) cuz the offending rod was elongated, polished the crank journal with emery cloth, got a .030 under bearing, it was still loose, shimmed up the difference with a piece of metal I cut out of an oil can (they were made of metal in those days), and assembled the whole thing. Didn’t even change the rings on the donor rod n piston. Didn’t change the pan gasket either, just applied some sealer. It had a knock but I drove it as gently as I could. Ran it for 6 months like that. It used a fair bit of oil, never changed the oil, but I added STP oil treatment regularly. Abandoned it when the battery gave out. By then it was knocking quite badly so it wasn’t worth putting a new battery into it. It hauled me and all my earthly possessions when I moved 1500 miles away. Back in the olden days when I was poor.
Mercury marine used the 292 in their inboard applications.i worked a lot on them.great engines,real workhorse.
292 was rarely used, almost all were 250
I had a 230 in a Nova and three on the tree and worn out too! So George I’m going to be jealous of yours, but happy to see yours getting the best care possible! I think we’ll need a poster now of George in front of his car when it’s done . Thanks Nick and Manny for the great work! 👍
It is a great treat to watch this teardown. Thank you for the trip back in time.
Our pleasure!
Man! Between this Chevy inline 6 and on another channel, tearing down and rebuilding a Ford 300, Inlines are going to get popular.
I like the love that old engine is getting. In 1972 I rebuilt its little brother a 194 in a 64 Nova. 1962-1967 with 1 Barrel Carb ; Max Brake Horsepower: 120 @ 4400 rpm ; Max Torque: 177 @ 2400 rpm ; Stroke: 3.25 ; Bore: 3.5635 ; Compression: 8.5. Just think what they would be like with the good oil we have today.
My former business partner used a 292 Chevy 6 in his 1953 corvette using small block Chevy heads with a cylinder removed from each head and it takes the same pistons and rods as a small black. He won the LA Carrera Americana race with his corvette.
I remember back in the 70's a dirt track had six cylinder class. Most were maybe 300 Fords, 292 GM, and every now and then a 225 Slant 6 would show up. If I remember right the Mopar was very competitive.
George, I know this car means a lot to you. This has to be one of the highlights of your life right now. Thank you, Nick, for doing this for your friend.
Kudos o the video editors! Fixed cameras, hand-held. . . seamlessly integrated !
And it’s no Manny’s first rodeo, either. . . 😊
Remember going to Canadian Tire in 1964. . . to pay $40.00 for a new crankshaft for a Ford Flathead V8. Took it home on the bus.
I predict 210 hp after rebuild!
Really ? WOW. Those good old days. Thanks for sharing this story. I am sure the Bus had a 6 cylinder.
This is a great video.. Great job guys...The 53-54 Corvette 6 cylinder engines were 235 c.i. with 150 h.p. nick named Blue Flame 150.
Thanks for the info!
Loved every minute gentlemen ! George build that lamp . ✌
Very nice! Happy for George! He's been doing great work for you over the years imho. Wrt the slant 6, Offenhauser makes an intake manifold for it that will receive a 4 bbl. Not sure if such a thing exists for the 230 though. George will have a sweet ride now! 😃 Looking forward to future videos on 6 cyl projects! Awesome stuff! 😃
George finally 😁👍 it's in capable hands. 175 hp or some more would be cool. Nick and Manny well done guys!!
At Nick's Garage they got engines to fix This week is no exception and Nick and Manny are tearing down a Chevy 230 inline six Manny's got a soft spot for these he found one is the ground Slinging plenty of torque 220 pound I bet George has a smile on his face Watching Nick and Manny fault chase dismantling and working out how to increase the 230's pace Investigating an interesting case Detective Nick and Lieuftenant Manny will uncover what they need to replace Another bumper episode Only Nick's Garage will test it under load and make sure that it does not explode Nick's Garage always lightens the Monday workload Thanks Nick and Manny Top man George
One of my classmates in high school had a 1969 Firebird with a 250 ci six with an overhead cam and a 4 barrel Quadrajet. It was rated as 230hp.
Makes me happy to see one being.restored
Hello Nick / Manny and V6 George.... I really enjoyed watching this one . Manny you and Nick work so good together and tell many stories about both you guys straight 6 .I think 🤔 George wants MORE POWER Nick so give him 275 on this straight 6.. Nick I don't know how this engine ran with those lobes gone she's a tough engine.. Nick George and Manny Thank you all for sharing this EPIC taredown.. From your friend THE ONE AND ONLY THE BANDIT !!!!! 😂😂😊😊😮😮
We can give all the power he wants. But the transmission and driveshaft are so tiny. And a heavy car.
I have played with a couple of those but you guys are having so much fun. That’s the good part and I know it’ll do great on the dino.
great video Nick! i had a 250 six in a 1968 nova back in 1978 for a little while! did 70 in first gear with the powerglide! miss that old car!
Sounds stout! 👍
George, I am very Glad for you to see the 6 cylinder getting some attention. Lets try for 200HP and 300LB-FT of torque out of this sweet mill !!!!!!!!!!! Nick and Manny will get it there! Nick, maybe someday you can help me with my 170 Slant 6 Hyper Pak build for my 1960 Valiant!
In the 1970s, they took these 230s and bored them to accept a 4 in flat top 327 pisten. They would port and polish the head, then add a Cliffords Research can and 4bbl intack manifold, with a small Holley 4bbl carb and a header. I never saw one dynoed, but they made a mean little 245 cid race engine.
They put these in a lightweight stock car and raced them in the Super Six class at Mount Lawn Speedway in New Castle, Indiana, and Anderson Speedway in Andersone, Indiana. They were amazingly fast and competitive.
Back in the day, I drove many old Chevies with 230 cid engines. They were tough and reliable little engines.
I love this video!
230 takes 283 pistons and the 250 takes 307 pistons.
@ricjona1069 We ran ASA at the time with a BBC, but the guys running 6 Cyls at Mt. Lawn told me that they bored the 230s to a 4 in bore and used the 327 piston. I saw many 283s bored 125 thousands to 4 in, so I took them at their word. Stock, the 283 and the 230 were the same pore six, so I never questioned it.
@@waynelovejr.1005 Many inline blocks won't handle a 4 inch bore (.125 over) and the engines that are bored to 4 inches are usually race only engines. And I thought the 327 pistons only worked in the 250 because of the stroke and in turn the piston height.
Can't wait to see this reliable GM 230 engine on the dyno.😄👍
George that’s a great idea you said about using the old cam for a lamp , you can use an old piston for a small lamp shade. 😊
Great Job Nick-Manny& George 😊!
