    Your '55 Willys wagon should be super cool! I don't know much about the old Chevy 235 I-6, but I would get it started and see what you have before I took anything apart to replace gaskets, etc. If you know it was never started I would prime the oil system to prove pressure and ensure oil throughout. Then if it starts and runs then you can look at replacing oil retaining gaskets based on leaks.

    Sure, you can make it breathe better (intake, carb(s), header, exhaust) to improve both power and efficiency, and a moderate cam will give it more pop, too. As I said, I don't have any direct experience, but maybe Pat or Tech can give you some pointers as you go along. Here's one place that pops up when you Google "Chevy 235 Speed Parts" Clifford Performance :: Make 6 = 8

    Post some pictures of your wagon!!

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
