Mines a mexico 350 4bolt block bored 040 it had 26cc dish speedpro pistons so I put on a set of 416 305 heads milled 025 550lift springs summit 1103 cam performer rpm intake 600 carb. The same head/cam combo on a 305 pushed my 82ta into the mid 8s In the 1/8th. Just a fun motor for my hauler/dd 4x4.

250 cid Inline 6, need I say more? 0-60 in about a 2 minutes (downhill). The six actually has some cool points; however, going fast isn't one of them.
going to be a 350 with vortech heads and the usual add ons and hopefully a serpentine belt set up.
still in the planning stages-so taking any and all recomendations.
it needs to be somewhat budget friendly and just a fun driver.



hey chevyguy74 what carb are you running and what kind of mpg's ?
