You will need a piece of angle iron long enough to span the flywheel.

Drill the required hole size in the center of one of the angle flats. more

The next piece will be determined by the size of the hole in the disc. A threaded rod of your choice with a 90 degree bend long enough so the threaded rod can not be pulled thru the input hole of the disc. more

Next pass the threaded rod thru the hole of the angle iron and add the correct nut and tighten. [links]

Later, when the Chevrolet six was honed by years of development into the 235 C.I.D. of the mid-fifties, it was overshadowed by the company's own small block V-8, which is among the best American engines ever produced. The Chevrolet mid-1950 Stovebolt six cylinder engine is not as powerful as the V-8, but it is smoother, quieter, and more economical. Best of all, it is dead simple to work on. more

After you have removed the head, inspect it for cracks around and between the valve seats. If you find any cracks, obtain another head. Fixes usually don't work well and heads for old Chevrolet straight-six engines are still available _{[ 05/07/2013 ]} but one might need to do some Internet research to locate a good cylinder head at a reasonable price. Also observe whether there are any cracks in the block, especially between cylinder bores. A cracked block can be fixed but it is usually not worth the trouble on an engine as common as the Chevrolet inline six cylinder engine [ this engine is less common in 2013 then it was 18 years ago in 1995 ]. here

If you notice a heavy ridge at the tops of the cylinders, and its likely you will on a high mileage 235 C.I.D. straight-six engine, it probably means the engine will need to be re-bored. The ridge is formed because the piston rings does not ride up that far in the engine block so that area at the top of the cylinder bore does not experience wear.

As already said, the 235 bellhousing is totally different from a V8. more

A sticky would be a good idea, I waded through about 30 pages of search results and found a lot of good data spread around here and there, no photos though, where there had been photos they were now deleted.

One VERY IMPORTANT detail about 55-85 V8 flywheels. Even though they are ALL physically interchangeable between ANY V8 Chevy crankshaft, the SB400 and 454BB engines required a flywheel (ALL were the larger 168 teeth versions) that was UNbalanced (or externally balanced, whichever term you prefer). These flywheels (and flexplates for auto trannys) had an additional weight on one side of the flywheel to provide weight for engine balancing. If you put one of these UNbalanced flywheels on a NEUTRAL balance engine, such as a 283-350, it will literally vibrate so bad that it will destroy the engine REAL QUICK! here

If the headlights remain bright when your assistant tried to start the engine, check for a possible short in the starting circuit.

Question: The engine will turn over fine when it’s cold but after running for a few minutes, the engine will not turn over when hot. It will sound like it’s going to turn over but fails to do so. Suggestions on what might be the problem? more
