Availablity, price, and the offset motor mounts would have prevented using the tubular crossmember style side mounts I planned on.

Basically, I came across a totally dressed, running 250 and it is double the horsepower of the 216. It came with carburetor, HEI, alternator, power steering bracket and pump, for $300.00.
