hello all. what is the best GM inline to soup up? by that i mean, the one with the most available aftermarket hi-po parts, and the one most likely to attain the highest HP. i've been toying with the idea of a hotrod with the novelty of an inline. right now i have a chevy 250. Thanks!

292 is the one that meets your definition. GMC 302 will give you the best performance and longevity, but the parts aren't as easy to get. You can also get parts for the 250. If you don't have Leo Santucci's book on hotrodding Chevy Sixes, it will tell you what to do to the late model GM six.

Seems to me, the "best inline to hop up" assuming it's GM, would be the new Vortec 4.2, which GM pushed to a quick 600 ponies for their race truck. But that's not quite what you were looking for was it? wink
