THe original 216 (which had a bent rod) was 85 hp and the earlier 250 (mine is a 1967) puts out 155hp which is a nice upgrade but does not over power the truck using the stock tranny and rear end. The 250 bolted up to the oringinal 4 spd. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 206 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 206 | 230s and 250s are hard to mount. takes alot of work.
