Some have seen these pics before but there are many new members here so I'll show them again. That 216 is a great little engine (but I do like the 261 in my '48 truck).
In 1964, we drove our '51 Chev with its 216 the 1250 miles from western Washington to southeast Wyoming, crossing the Continental Divide several times while loaded to the gills and pulling a U-Haul trailer. We had a contest to see which family member could guess our miles per gallon.....of oil, that is.
End of the Trip. After Wyoming Blizzard.
