I'm also fairly certain i have the non integrated head...how can you tell? What 4 barrel carb fits on the inline? I know of the book for this engine (can't remember the name) that I need to get, but I was just trying to get some input before hand. Thanks for all the replies thus far though.

I can't type worth a crap...sorry. I meant 81.

There are many days I wish I had kept the 250 in my 70. I had an 82 with an inline 250 and it was a fun truck. Wish I still had it too. If you are going to change out engines, maybe do a rebuild of another 6, with a non-integrated head. You can find them plentiful and cheap. Just the HP won't come as cheap. But the unique factor is definitely there.

where can I find a non integrated head? does anyone sell them, or is this a junker part i'd need to look for.
