Its common to replace the smaller 228/248 with a 270 or 302 which can look exactly like a 228 if done with the early parts.
My '55 1st was factory with a 248 but has a 270 in it today. My '54 appears to still have its original 248 under the hood. I also have a '53 big truck that has a 248. The larger motors are not real hard to find.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
