I can put a small block V8 oil pump into a 216. Has anyone ever seen a 216 that actually has oil pressure? It's also going to have aluminum pistons, displace 224 cubic inches instead of 216, has replaceable connecting rod bearings, and a leak-proof rear crankshaft oil seal. It's also going to look bone-stock original from the outside.
