I was given a 250 engine that was in a '64 Suburban. The numbers verify that the engine in a '64. I took the numbers to a number cruncher and it turns out that it is a '62 to '72, 250 CID/4.1L (without integral intake manifold).

My questions are:
1. What is an integral intake manifold? I can find nothing about it in my books.

2. Can this engine, after being rebuilt, be used in my '51 3100 for pulling my 800lb Teardrop Camp Trailer with 250lb of Cast Iron Dutchoven cooking stuff and all my camp gear? I intend to run it at 60-65mph most of the time on the road and the '51 has the original 4.11 gears.

3. Is "speed equipment" pretty easy to get? I want to use an Offy two carb setup like I have on the 235, with Fenton headers. I don't have to have the Offy intake or the Fentons, if you have better ideas.

I have a couple more questions but I'll post them later. This is what I need to know so that I can start planning.

Thanks in advance for your info.

P.S. Joker, I will post a response this time. I don't want you embarrassing me again.
