In 1965 my dad decided to rebuild a 235 to go in a 1939 Chevrolet car that he had fixed-up. A racing friend talked him into pop-up pistons, cam, porting and polishing, dual exhaust and three BXOV-2. Back then those racing parts were a lot of money and I remember my mom giving him the "evil eye". Years later he told me it never ran to the performance level he was expecting, but don't tell your mother. When it was really cold outside, the engine would flood before he could get it started. It became a ritual with the battery charger, starting fluid and frozen fingers. Finally he got tired of messing with it and converted back to a standard intake with one carburetor so he would have less trouble.
Today there is a lot more Chevy I-6 information and insight available (basically facts), than what my father had in 65. He would have loved to have read about it, before he started on his venture.
