If anyone has a good running Chevy straight 6 engine that is in reasonable distance of me, pls LMK price, location, condition, etc.

Thanks
Scott

Scott, I am in Indiana, but I have a good 250 that I run almost every day. Very reliable, has about 90k on it. Shipping would run about $125-150. If interested, make me an offer on it. It does not burn oil, does have some leaks.

Thanks,
Mark

Mark, thanks for the info. I may have located one closer, not sure yet.
What year is ur motor, and how many miles on it?

Scott I would have to check the numbers on the block. I don't think it's original to my truck. I was told by the p o that it was a reman longblock with about 5K miles on it when I bought it. It has about 90K if that is true. I can tell you that it uses non-tapered seat spark plugs so it's an earlier head at least.

Oops, forgot to update this thread. Yes, picked one up Tuesday so hopefully I'm all set.

Thanks
Scott

Scott, Would you happen to have your old carb still?
