I think I'm either a nut job or genius( u can guess what my wife says) because I have a 248 out of a '49 buke and a factory dual carb set-up from a '41 buke and I'm debating if I should put it in my '49 chev p.u.? The 216 needs a complete overhaul but the 248 is a strong runner.(dual carbs not yet installed) The p.u. six's block is 27" and the buke's straight 8 is 31" I need some input what guys think?
