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!
