I was doing some junk yard doggin' yesterday and have a few questions that I
thought I would pose to the group.
I found several (61) Chevelle 300 Deluxe and was wondering what engine they
had in them. They have an inline 6 with what appeared to be seven valve
cover bolts around the perimeter of the cover. Also looking from the front
of the engine were two plates on the on the left hand side of the engine
behind the oil filter. Each cover plate had three bolts in line. Hopefully
this is enough to tell something. I thought if these were 235s or 261s that
I might pick one up.
Also, I'm thinking that it may have the rear end that I need if I do a
conversion. Does anyone know what the '61 Chevelle was geared? It has a
powerglide auto tranny. I found an '84 Blazer 4x4 that looked like the rear
would work. Is there any way of finding out what that is geared without
pulling the cover? I do have the serial number and it does look original.
Thanks.
