I put the 235 in my 1938 Chevy pickup restomod (since sold), I found the original 50's speed equipment dual exhaust cast iron Fenton Headers, you have to find a pair for your Fleetline, or the modern stainless steel ones in the ebay link below.
- Big setup change on the '51 Fleetline: Have a 32/36 dual carburetor setup including intake and exhaust manifolds, plus a modernized (1960's) crank ventilation, removal of the oil filter to raise compression and all new fuel & coolant lines.
They are tricky little setups to dial in quickly as the intake manifold has to be heated from the T-stat to keep the fuel hot, this can cause some intake velocity discrepancies between the carburetors depending on your intake manifold and choice of heating.
It has a 235 inline 6 with 3-on-the-tree... Ironically, that makes it drastically larger displacement than the 2.7 going in Bronco, so if size matters..... I win.
