The engine is dead, and a guy offers me a 250ci coming from a 1974 Camaro. Do you think it could fit if i keep the TH350 gearbox coming with the Camaro engine? Thanks for your help, i feel a bit lonely here in Belgium!

The 194 is not too good because most of them come from the old Nova's & the oil sump is up front. They are under powered also.
You don't have to be lonely with this website around. There are a great bunch of people that like to talk trucks on it.

It is an International trucks only site !

Putting a 216 or 235 in would be a lot easier than a 250.
I put a 235 in a 29 a couple of years back and have notes if needed.

That's it! Sorry if i was not clear. What's the difference between a 216/235ci and the 250ci?

But first, there are no bellhousing that will bolt to a 250 and a your transmission, and I could go on.
If you are going open drive line than a 250 could be made to work.

That is one cool truck. I think Damien will be better off putting in a 216 or 235 unless you want to do a lot of fabrication.

I think Damien will be better off putting in a 216 or 235 unless you want to do a lot of fabrication. The fact is that 216 or 235 are really hard to find here in good conditions. I could bring my original 194ci to a professional mechanics here in belgium but he asks me more than $4500 for a complete rebuild! I don't want to skimp on the restoration but i have to pay attention to the budget. | | |
