a flacon coupe !
fairly simple swap:
the australian 250 and 221 are roughly the same size - the 250 is about 1" ( maybe 3/4 ") taller and has a longer water pump.
so if they swapping from a 221 to a 250 will probably have to use a thermo fan in front of the rad and the exhaust may raise up 1" as well
however if it has the orig 170 /144 engine in and a 3 speed manual or 2 speed auto it will/may have a 'narrow' engine block with a narrow gearboxes belhousing - the the xm /xp were a change over between wide aqnd narrow - so can get a mixture- XR onwards were 'wide egines and boxes
whereas the 221/250 has a wide block.
adapter plates can be got to go from 'narrow' motor to 'wide' gearbox
but if its 'narrow box' and 'wide' motor then its a new wide box req
BUT if its the 3 speed fordo matic( similair to the BW35) its a wide gearbox
confused ?
let us know what the combo is /will be .
probably better posting in the 'aust sixes' site on this forum as the USA never had the 221
