Engine Parts

These were a few of the engine parts I had located by late this afternoon. It may take awhile to find all of them because Dad had parts of his 1950 Chevy scattered all over the place: His shop, the bedroom, the rest of the house, the basement and the shed. Locating them all will just take a lot of looking and hopefully finding.

One thing that will add to the confusion is that the car originally came with a 216 straight 6 engine. Dad decided he liked the 235 straight 6 Chevy truck engines' oil system better, so he found another engine. It came with an additional 216 engine, so I've got three engines that look a whole lot alike, and parts for all three strewn everywhere. Fortunately, there are only new parts for the 235, so that should help a little.

When it's all said and done, I suppose I'll have two nearly complete Chevy 216 straight 6 engines to sell. They have been taken apart and need some parts to get them back up to shape again, but they're in sound condition. Plus, those Chevrolet 216 engines last forever and are workhorses. There are farms that still have them in use for various applications.
