Chevy 250 VS 235

Hell for $100 or so you can buy bolt-in mounts to let you put a 250 where a 216 was, the mounts on the 230/250 are the same as the small block V8 -

 

good on you - nothing wrong with the 235. put the other inline in the corner for the future

 

what's the verdict?

 

I see is as a toss-up, the choice being primarily whether one wants a pre-60s look or not. If buying the complete overhaul kit, the one for 235 runs something around a hundred bucks more....

 

The 235 has been in for a quite some time now. It runs great. I've got a few 235's laying in wait. Never going to use anything but the old stovebolts.

I'm chopping the top and about to have Rusty build my ch***is. I'll start a builf thread soon.
