If you would like to have your cake and eat it too there is an alternative to the 250's and their early 60's technology.

How about a 275/290HP from Stock GM inline 6 ... come visit www.vortec4200.com/forum1/ for details..


Then might as well go LS.

I still fail to see the point of this engine swap. The reason to build a 250 is simple: period correct or it cane with the car.
