Hey i know it's weong but I wouldn't get arrested  

It'd be so wrong somehow it would seem right

I certainly can't argue with the sound part...but I've seen a Cadillac V-16 in person, and that's no laughing matter.

Even worn out 272s sound and look better than any other engine!!!!!!!

I left out the Y because I wasn't sure I could get one...I know I can now, but it might not run, and it's from an old F-600 flatbed, it's an old 272 that's had the piss beat out of it, but it';s almost certainly gonna be stronger than the 250 I6...if I can get it to work!

I guess that I have always had a problem with switching motors between different manufacturers.  Just a foible of mine, so take no offense, and I might add of course, that the Y is my favorite.  "Y's" forever.

I left that one out because it's the obvious choice.

I think I was misunderstood, I have nothing against scrub sixes.  I'm a big fan of the 292 I was just asking if it was a 292 or a 250 cause the '78 250 with integral head is a real POS and should be given a wide berth.  On the other hand an old style six head will bolt up in its place. (194, 230, 250, 292)  I was also trying to keep some sort of Ford in our conversation, I mean com'on this is a Y-Block site, if your gonna talk about a Nova you better be installing something Blue Oval!

I'm still trying to get the guy to sell me the Nova. he likes the idea of it having new life, though. He's also got a 1955 Ford customline, it's totally rusted and rotted, but we still have the 223 from his old Junkyard-Cruiser merc, it was hard to not try that.

The engine is a 230. It's not a powerhouse, but the car was originally a I6 car, it couldn't really handle a V8 when it was new...and it's a long, long way from new.

I love the Y-blocks,but any old inline 6 with dual carbs,a split manifold and Smittys is special too.
