I am pretty sure my head is crack on the truck we drive everyday. I just need to get it running it is a 66 C10 with a 250 in it. What trucks will interchange with it that I can be looking for in a wrecking yard.

Thanks

any head from 64 on up. Only exception would be the later heads with the intergrated intake manifold. 230, 250 and possibly the 194 cu. in. heads. Though the 194 head may raise the compression.

Not just trucks... there were a lot of Chevrolet cars that had the 250's in them too.

The 250 was used on the following vehicles:

1966—1984 Chevrolet (passenger cars to 1979, trucks/vans to 1984)
1970—1976 Pontiac Firebird
1970 Pontiac Tempest
1970—1976 Pontiac LeMans
1968—1969 Buick Special
1968—1972 Oldsmobile F-85
1975—1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass
1971—1975 Pontiac Ventura
1968—1971 Buick Skylark
1973—1975 Buick Apollo
1967—1979 Chevrolet Camaro
1969—1979 Checker Marathon
