Free 250 engine from 67 Chevelle

[ScottH]

I have a 250 6 cylinder motor from a 67 Chevelle which I received with another vehicle I recently purchased. I was told by previous owner he pulled it from his grandfather's car with approximately 66k miles on it. It is disassembled down to the short block. The engine sat for some time and in my opinion should be rebuilt. Very little build up on pistons, virtually no ridge, but two cylinders have some rust from sitting. It turns over freely. The block casting number is 3921968 and the engine code next to the distributor is F0229CO.

Obviously no shipping, come and get it.

so how long did you think it would take for a reply
your not gonna wait until the auction finishes

[ScottH]

Lol, I just need this thing gone. Figure if someone here can use it might as well give it away. Guess I'm getting impatient in my old age.

Tell ya what, I'll just trade ya for the NOS grill!

WoW, that was quick, didn't think it would last long

[jc]

put me dead last inline, DEAD LAST right before the scraper
i have no use for it but if it comes down to the junk yard ill take

but i think some one would bid on it in the auction

i rather see another board member take it rather than me.

i get into my cleaning frenzies and it might end up in the scraper later anyway

[jc]

Would you be willing to part it out? I have a 292, and depending on if the parts are compatible, I'll take the timing gear cover and the harmonic balancer (if it hasn't completely rotted out).

[jc]

cell, i picked this up a long time ago ,
i stuffed it all in to a corner just incase
ill check it out for ya during the week when i get a chance
are you sure these parts will work on your 292?

[LUV2XCLR8]

If I were only closer

[cell]

as far as I know, the main difference between the 250 and 292 is the deck height (as a result of a longer stroke - they share the same bore), so in theory, the harmonic balancer and timing gear cover *should* be the same.

These parts appear to be getting less than trivial to find, so even though I can't say for sure that they will fit, it will be worth risking a small dollar amount to find out.

[cell]

oops, that should read "are not exactly trivial to find".

hmm, I wonder why I can't edit my posts...

[jc]

i took a good look at em today , they look pretty good
$20 to your door ill get pics if you want em with in the next 24 hrs

[cell]

I'll still take the timing gear cover, but I think I have determined that the 250 did in fact have a different balancer, so I don't think I'll be able to use that in my application.

Thanks for checking it out - I'll PM to you set up shipping.
