Talked with strokersix. He is willing to build a new shortblock 250. It will have a very good lower end with 6" Crower rods and custom aftermarket (light) pistons. I even have a lite weight GM crank that could be used.
It would be a flat top piston engine with Zero deck.
Chevy2inreno, the 3x2 and algon setup would cost valuable dyno time to get running properly. What we would be looking for is like with the 292, start with stock head / cam and work our way up. Just like most people do when building their ride.
I'd be willing to bet the 250 can match or surpass a simular built 292, mainly because it can rev better and that is where HP comes into the equation.
Hank, From the cranks I have seen, they are 12 counterweight. Only the earliest of engines got the 6 weight cranks.
