The new 250 is in!!!
Here is the 250 inline that I bought from board member "Bowtie468". Motor and three-speed set me back a whole hundred bucks...
![]() Several gaskets, seals and paint cans later, this is how it turned out. Runs fine. Still needs a little tweeking, but no real issues so far.

The air cleaner....that came with the motor when I got it from Chris (bowtie468). I figure, when I put the booster on for the power drums, my factory one won't fit anyway, so....When the weather turns colder, I will get around to putting a new heater core in (mine has a hole...go figure).

I used to do some dirt track racing years ago. One of the classes we eaced was a 6 cyl. I can show you some pretty neat ways to make a 250 bad to the bone.I.E. cut the piece in the ports that protect the bolt ,counter sink the bottom bolt hoe use allen head bolt .Plug the top and you have 2 times the port size.There is more!

Tell 'em it's a 250 Watch them snicker Then light those tires...hehehehe ![]()

For anyone who doesn't know....Kitty is this spicy little number from Oregon. She needs truck parts for her truck. She would rather trade than purchase

Back to the motor issue. Years back there was a local fellow who ran a 292 in a car at the local dirt track races. He ran against the V8's with no problem at all. Nothing at all wrong with inlines.
