just for the thought. a 250 6 is the same length and overall physical size as the 144 the car would have come with. it will sit higher than the 144 due to the mounts on the engine being higher up but they fit with no problem. they put 250's in the round body's all the time. a 240 6 or a 300 will not fit tho as there big blocks.
