what stock combo is worse (or better) 1969 250-6 or 307 v8
1 Attachment(s)
So I had a brain storm ! after reading Billy's budget stocker post last summer, it got me thinking, I have a 69 Camaro streetcar 12 bolt, 4 speed, better axles, slap bars drive shaft loop you know the usual hot rod stuff! but it does not have a roll bar ( I don't want one either) and is by no means a race car! if it had a bar it would open many other possibilities.! anyway, what are your thoughts on this plan! I have a complete 307 carb to pan (I've read this motor combo is very under carbed) and I know of a cheap 250 6 cylinder for sale! what are the chances of putting together one of these 2 motors to build an index running combo on the cheap! (like some machine work,a cam ,good valves and a stocker valve job) not looking to run way under the index! I have plenty of chevy v8 transmissions, converters, shifters ,headers, lite weight race wheels and that kind of stuff laying around , I know Billy has run both these combos in his nova and I hope he chimes in! thanks ....................fred

to run the index in P @ 3290lbs with the 307 it would have to make a minimum of 270 hp ! is that even possible with a budget built motor?

Billy has never run a 250 inline 6. Billy (and I) have played with the 230 combo (him much longer than me). We discussed the 250 a few times, and sort of figured the 20 extra cubic inches, but the same 1bbl carb really didn’t equate to a better combo. Billy has done the 72 307, which is a little different than a 69 307. The 230 isn’t too bad. I was able to go .50-60 under with good pistons, a good cam, and a good valve job. Converter and transmission are very important too. Good luck with whatever combo you decide!

I dont pretend to know half as much about 6 cyl . as Billy but a 230 @140 in Vsa sure looks better to me than a 307 @ 195 in Psa . If I remember right when Billy ran a 307 in his Nova it was rated @168 hp. Just my opinion Rick

I don't remember their names but there are a couple brothers that race the glssa with Brad Z and company in Michigan and run well with the 69 Camaro 6cyl combo
