It seems like a pretty straight forward conversion -- i just need a pointer or 2.


Twisted6,

If he uses a 250 pan on a Chevy II 194, will he have to drill the block for the dip stick?

In my 63 SS I swapped the stock 194 for a stock (tired) 250.
The 194 3 on the tree would just bog off the line.
The 1st thing that 250 did when I popped the clutch was lay 2 black streaks in my driveway.



Did you use the center sump or rear sump oil pan? With some tips from Twisted6, I am using a rear sump from a 250 on my 292 engine, which is going into my 63 Chevy II. Not sure when this is going to happen, as the engine stall keeps getting delayed...
