Are you on the TC site and go by the same name?
My name over there is Turbopowered68 I tried getting the same name here but I screwed something up along the way.
Anyway I would like to do something like this on my Chevelle.
Right now I have an 87 GN engine in it and the Turbo just took a dump plus the engine could use a rebuild. So because of this I have been thinking about going with a deferent set up.
I still have the OE 250 that came in the car and I think this would be a real cool set up if I can get similar results to the GN set up and if it doesn’t cost much more then my current set up.

How strong are the 250 blocks?
Could I use the OE Crank?
Could I use the OE Rods?
Do they make a roller Cam for this engine?
Like I said I am looking to dip into the 11.50s and still have a good DD that gets allot of miles and long trips.
Thanks for you help.
David
