Some say they would not have made it 5 years before that carburetor started dribbling but yes...they never counted on this, did they? You may recall in October I mentioned I was up in Arkansas and saw many inline 6 engines still powering irrigation pumps. I'm pretty certain one of them was a 235. Could have been a 261 I suppose, but most of the pump engines were 235s because they were less expensive. You can still buy a brand new GM 250 six long block for $2300 (non-hardened valve seats) or $2500 (hardened valve seats). Comes with HEI and water pump. Manifold is for a 1bbl. Great for cotton field, corn, soybean, etc irrigation.
