That is like going to a British bike website and asking if they are any good. 4 out of 5 stovebolters still use their stovebolts. The 5th, well, black sheep I guess.
Try to find a 261.
Once you go V8 you better upgrade the whole thing, brakes everthing. Or buy a newer truck that already has those things. Make sure your 216 is no good first as they run forever.
