The inline 6 Chevy 250 should not be compared to a SBC engine. They share practically no parts w/the V8 engines. Because of this fact, expect it to cost more per horsepower than a Chevy V8. The reward is this is not a "belly button" engine; instead it is considered "old school" and caries cred because of what it ''isn't'' as much as for what it '''is'''. | The inline 6 Chevy 250 should not be compared to a SBC engine.
