Motor Switch

I am switching from a 200 motor to a 250 in a 65 coupe. I am pretty new to this aspect and was wondering if yall knew of any problems I might have regarding the different sizes. Thanks

RE: Motor Switch

I'm pretty sure the 250 has a small block bolt pattern and the 200 doesn't. At the very least, you'll need a different bell housing. Maybe someone with more I6 experience can add to this.

RE: Motor Switch

I know a guy that did that to a 67. He didn't say anything about it beening hard. It should be the same motor with a longer stoke. That my take on it.
