Tom, just wondering what made you pick the 250 over the 235? I am getting ready to start in on my 50'Deluxe and I don't know which engine to use. I have access to a 235, 261, 250, & 292(way to many parts cars). The 250/292 have some tranny advantages and I want to keep it "inline-6". What did you do for motor mounts, do you have water pump clearance issues, what tranny are you using? Just curious thx Todd
