It's spelled out right on the front cover. I couldn't even find a mention of the 216 or 235 engines in the entire book.
However, if you're a 194-292 fan it's well written, the illustrations and graphs are great and it would be a useful tool for making those mods.

Those two pages are a very brief description of sixes from 1929-1962.
As Dave said, this book is really for the newer 194-292 engines. I mistakenly bought one a few years ago, thinking it had information about the older sixes.
A book about the stovebolt sixes is "Cast Iron Wonder. Chevrolet's Fabulous Six", Floyd Clymer Pub. 1st. ed. 1961. 68 pages. Lots of photos of vehicles but not a lot of technical information. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 | I guess I saw "Stovebolt" and ran with it. It does say "Everything the engine builder needs to know to rebuild the chevy...", but I should have paid more attention. | | |
