This is from Wikipedia's history of the Chevrolet straight 6; "The next-generation Chevrolet inline 6 was introduced in 1937 and phased out in 1963 in the US, and 1964 in Brazil. It is often known as the "Blue Flame" engine, although that name was only officially applied beginning in 1953, and then only for one certain model of the engine". The only Chevy 6 engines I ever saw with the label blue flame on them were in 53, and 54 Corvettes. Although you are not as old as I am, you are old enough to know that misinformation gets passed around, and the story changes a little every time it gets repeated. When I was young, I lived and breathed Chevy and Corvette high performance, that is why I helped my friend restore his 53, and 68 Corvettes. He knew I knew Chevy history, and how to find the parts and info he needed to restore his cars. An example of my Chevrolet history knowledge, do you know where the bow tie emblem originated? I do if you would like to know. I also know why the Datsun name was used when Nissan started exporting cars and trucks until they got the rest of the world used to their products.
I have a 098 cam in my 57 Chevy most people don't have a clue what that is. It is the solid lifter cam that came in the 57 fuel injected 283.
