You are welcome. A lot of people don't think the 228 is worth messing with because the rest of the GMCs up the line have the same outside detentions. But it is a good strong engine and if there are cubic inch restrictions say in a vintage class it will do well. Also if it is what you have and you like to tinker it can be improved. It will accept the 4" stroke crank of the tall dec engines. By boring and using custom pistons and stock rods you can get around 260 inches. You might find an off the shelf piston. It may not make dollar sense but it could be fun. Remember it is not a high RPM engine and you'll want to gear for the RPM range. Also it has thick cylinder walls and a strong (for the time) bottom end. It will take quite a bit of boost say from a vintage supercharger. It will make your Model A rails ring!
