Looking for engine

a buddy is looking for a complete 250 Chevy engine good shape if possible
Thanks Robert

 

I have a free 216 sitting in my shop.

 

I finally JUST gave away the 216 from the 53 resto.

 

Thanks for offers for a 216 he had a 235 wants a 250 so he can run a/c power steering

 

Robert's buddy is looking for the ' thinwall ' 1963 ~ 198? 230/250 engine .

Or maybe a romping stomping 292 factory stroker ? .

All are very good engines but suffer badly from cylinder wear / taper due to failure to change the oil enough .

 

Well my buddy just sold a fresh rebuilt 235 never fired up after the rebuild
Someone told him it would lack power after adding a/c and power steering

 

So , try to steer him to a 250 or 292 , both have plenty of power .

IMO the 235 would have been fine but what do I know ? .
