They're not the most plentiful engines but they're still out there. Some of the parts are interchangeable with other sixes of the same series; 196, 230, 250. If you find one in a truck be sure to get the engine stands (mounts) with it plus any accessory items like power steering pumps, AC brkts, etc. if it has them. The passenger side engine stand and some of the accessory items do not interchange and are the most difficult parts to find for this engine. FWIW I just put one in a 68 GMC and I was lucky enough to fine everything I needed except AC brkts. I'll have to get some aftermarket ones off EBAY when the time comes. I'll probably use a 250 in my next truck because they're much more common and don't require any special parts. A good source for info is the inliners.org website.
