300ci crank etc into 250 xflow block?

[MRJLB84D]

as the name suggests, can it be done....is there much difference between the aussie pre xflow 250's to the 300's??? Are the 300's a tottaly different engine or are their similarities to the 250 besides the Badge

going off of Jack's build-up in the tech section, the US 250 and the Oz x-flow 250 blocks are almost identical on the bottom end

and in that case, no i really doubt it would fit
it's a completely different engine family

yeh thats wat i thought....knew it would be a bit of a silly question but never know if u dont ask...shame cant fit one of our aussie xflow heads to a 300, now that ladies and gents, would be awesome! and with a turbo!!!!!!!! words cant describe

do the xflow heads flow better than the LS1 heads?
because 6bangerbill did make a head for the 300 out of 'em

 

[MRJLB84D]

the xflow heads must flow pretty good, all the top turbo guys here running xflows say there is no point touching the heads as their is no real gain

I take it you talking the chev LS1 head?? whats this guy do a cut and shut on em?

 

[Asa]

yup
you should look up the thread, i think the images have died though...

holy crap who would of thought! really neat job he did with the conversion...how did it go tho??

 

[Asa]

i'm not sure if any of them are running yet...
there was one guy, bought one, planned to build a tube frame baja racer with twin turbos, i don't think we've heard from him since
