Need 250 I6 info:
Why are the cast iron headers for a 250 so hard to find? Where could I find them? You see them for the 235 / 216 all the time. Also I am looking for finned aluminum valve cover and side covers and want to know the best place to get them. Thanks for any info.

Re: Need 250 I6 info:
not hard at all. Tom Langdons the guy, @ www.stoveboltengineco.com
I have his cast headers, and they are very very nice. I have his side covers and they are very very very nice. I have his custom "small" HEI, which is the only HEI that will fit easily under an AC compressor. those cast headers on the 235 are called Fentons.

Re: Need 250 I6 info:
Remember that a lot of 230, 250 & 292 parts are interchangeable....some are not. Exhaust is one that will

Re: Need 250 I6 info:
Non-inter-changable would be sidecovers,clutch,cam(unless you change to electric fuel pump),pushrods,damper, and maybe some other things, but thing like valve cover,intake/exhaust stock or aftermarket,distributor,fuel pump, water pump, head, and pistons I believe are inter-changable.

Re: Need 250 I6 info:
292 pistons do not interchange with the 230/250 due to the different compression height and pin location. ,

Re: Need 250 I6 info:
The 305 V8 pistons work on the 250/230 and they are flat top and not the dish type from the factory.

also cause the compression distance. Piston wise I meant bore size was the same between the 230-250-292.

Re: Need 250 I6 info:
Also, the heads on 292's aren't interchangeable on the smaller blocks due to a higher deck on the big ol' 292's.

Re: Need 250 I6 info:
They actually are because I have seen a 194 head on a 292.
