68 Camaro 6cyl. stocker need help!

I think you're better off with the 250. 20 more cu. in. and only 5 HP more. Everything else is the same, i.e. head, intake, cam, carb.

Only thing, I don't know if you can add enough weight to run V. If it has to run W it's a loser idea having to run against the 8 cyl. cars. How do I know? I tried it and realized I was beating my head against the wall. But that was way back when 8 cyl cars (damn 273 Mopar station wagons) could run V and when it was a 21 lb. class.

As Mark said, not a great combo. What's weak about it? The carb is too small.
