I thought it had a 216 in it! good thing i haven't bought engine parts for it yet. and i will have to measure the wheel base but 160" looks about right | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,061 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,061 | Hy sask42, a 224 and 216 look identical from the outside, the 224 has a 1/16" larger bore. Basically a .0625 overbore of a 216, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 56 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 56 | I just wish that when it had the new engine installed that they stamped the block cause it has been horrible tring to size it without that stamp
