Sounds like a 250 odd ci chev 6.
Mate of mine had one in a South African Rambler Hornet. |
Cheers,

Yes it does sound like the Chev 6 I think they are available in capacities from about 190-292 cubic inches. There was a fair bit said about these engines a while ago on this forum under the title "stroking a red motor" or similar. |

Excellent engine to stick into a Holden with a big cam and triples, and play tricks on people when it goes like stink and you tell them it's a 202. |
