There is a fellow here in town that has a 1953 Chevrolet 3100 and he had a lot of work done on the 216 in this truck then decided he didn't want the babbet engine. So I put a 250 in it with a 4 speed and made a driveshaft and put a 3:07 rear end in it for him and now he is wondering if I could sell the 216 engine for him.
The truck only had 55,000 miles on it and he spent $400.00 on the head putting in new valves, etc. and only put about 100 miles on it after that, so it just purrs. Personally I wouldn't have changed it. Anyway, is there a big call for this engine and what is it worth?
