Re: 350 to 250 swap i

I have a 72 c10 that originally had a 250 3ot but did not have a motor in it when I bought it. The guy had a built 350 and 350 trans he was going to put in it. He had already had the automatic column in it. I sold the 350/350 combo and purchased a 250 motor. The first two 250 motors I bought had already been bored .60 over. Third one finally was rebuildable so had it done and installed the 3ot and 3speed saginaw. It has a 3.73 rear end. It does wrap out at 60. I bought a 3 speed saginaw with an overdrive to put in it in the future. I really am happy with it its fun to drive. I also have a 69 c10 with a 292/350 combo. Both have power steering which is a dream compared to not having it. I have to admit as of now I prefer to drive the 69. Mostly I guess cuz its so effortless with the auto trans. And I like the buddy bucket seats that are in it. The 72 w/250 just has a bench seat which I dont like. The bench seat will be going bye bye soon. They both feel the same off the line. The 292 loves gas. Both motors are stock.
