Sorry, Dan, forgot it was a GMC. Skip my comments re the 216 and 235. They're chevy motors. GMCs were even sturdier. I'd be reluctant to ditch an original GMC engine. Regards, Grant S. gls@4link.net

And besides, if you had to swap out an original 235, one of mankind's better inventions, why settle for a 250? I'd put in a 292. Regards, Grant S. gls@4link.net oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM t

Hi Paul, long way to City Hall?" the County Landfill? Your surmise is correct. I ruled out a naval burial because the little thing was so light I didn't think it would sink enough to get swept away.
