Engine Swap?

[chad]

Hello,
I recently bought a 63Futura, 170 I6. I was wondering what I can do to get more power out of it. I dont really want to upgrade to a V8, but maybe a larger I6. Will a 250ci fit? If so, what would the swap entail? Is it even worth it?
I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Or talk to bubba bout the 1 w/the 490 in it.
(just jokin, but ck it out - i's true)

You can continue driving the 170 while you find a 200 and do any mods to it you want and then just swap it out a fairly quick job. Less down time and can be inexpensive depends on how much more power you want and the condition of the 200 you find.

Simplest, easiest, cheapest. I got my complete running 200 and 3.03 tranny with brackets, etc for the cost of diesel (nephew's pickup) and a saturday drive from Abilene to Shreveport (6 hrs one way, but we had a blast along the way).

Here's that thread detailing what all I did. If you have any questions, ask away.
