The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Heaviest Straight 6

Well I don't know the weight but I know it is BIG. My Stovebolt-1945 GMC COE Victory Truck has a 308 gas engine straight six. It comes apart in three pieces (so it must be really heavy to move)- you have the head- then the cylinders- and then the lower end, where the crank is. This is not the biggest of the old GMC big sixes but it is of the same size (like 216,235 and 261 are all basically the same size, in weight). Oh also, this is a running-rolling truck. I also get 12 miles to the gallon- up or down hill, loaded or unloaded, or just sitting running in the yard-LOL Just a great old work truck-no showoff- just work.
