That is a nice looking engine,what did you use for a Distributor set up?

71maligreen · 11-15-2013, 10:18 AM

a factory set up out of a 75 truck with new cap rotor wires and external coil

Claytona08 · 11-15-2013, 10:45 AM

Man that looks great!!! What all did you do to the engine? What kind of paint did you use? I have a inline 6 in my 84 and have considered keeping it in the truck.

71maligreen · 11-15-2013, 01:07 PM

it is a 13,000 original mile 67 250 engine so just all new gaskets and seals,new fuel pump,waterpump,etc... i used high temp enigine enamel chevy orange de1620 (from autozone/orieleys)and a semi gloss black for all the black pieces.
i kept the inline 6 for fuel mileage and the fact it is just a parts truck for hauling stuff back and forth to swaps wont be hauling any cars on trailers etc...

520CheyenneK10 · 11-15-2013, 01:48 PM

Looks fantastic!!! Great look and clean appearance. Not sure if still true but was a time when re-building a 250 was more costly than a sb 350.

rollin thunder · 11-15-2013, 02:02 PM

Looks great!! I cant wait till i get mine done!

71maligreen · 11-15-2013, 05:23 PM

thanx for the compliments!! it was alot of work so i do appreciate it!!!

beamn7 · 11-15-2013, 11:29 PM

Dig the detail on the engine! Looks great! Got 247K on my 78 250 and still runs strong. Worked it hard for years hauling toys to the desert. Love me a 250.

Nice job!
