| − | + | The Chevy inline 6 has been around in one version or another since 1929 until 1988 in domestic vehicles. The Gen 3 (1962-'88) straight 6 250 cid engine was brought out in 1966. It has a 0.280" longer stroke (3.53") and the same bore (3.875") as the 230 cid straight 6. | |

| − | Building | + | Building a straight 6 250 can be tricky, and hard to do. Parts arent as common for the inline 250 as they are for V8's, as the inline was seen more as a "mom's engine" then a high powered torque monster, which is why there aren't as many parts. Luckily, there are parts out there. However, expect to pay a bit more for an intake and headers. |
If built properly, an I6 can chew V8's up all day long. However, this usually requires a cam, dual intake carburetors, head work, headers, and the works. | If built properly, an I6 can chew V8's up all day long.
