That didn't work(engine in car) so I used my air hammer! Every time(about a thousand) I heard it hit I cringed!! Might...

250 HEI in a 194?
(Preview)
Not to up on my 6 cyl's. Will the 250 with HEI that I pulled out of the 4dr fit in the 194 that I put in? Think it will but not 100% sure. Also want to split the exhaust and was wondering if both the manifolds were the same and the 250 would bolt to the 194 intake? Thx Jim

Little history on engine: Picked up a rebuilt engine for my sons 4dr Canso last year. Got it running and basically drove it down back and parked it.
