The Chevy inline 6 has been around in one version or another since 1929 until 1988 in domestic vehicles. The Gen 3 (1962-'88) straight 6 250 cid engine was brought out in 1966. It has a 0.280" longer stroke (3.53") and the same bore (3.875") as the 230 cid straight 6. | The Chevy inline 6 has been around in one version or another since 1929 until 1988 in domestic vehicles.

Building a straight 6 250 is not any harder to do than any other inline 6, be it a Ford or Chevy, GMC, etc. Parts aren't as common for the inline 250 as they are for V8's, but as one will see, there are plenty of info and quite a few suppliers for parts, as well as places that cater to almost nothing but the Chevy inline 6 engines. | Building a straight 6 250 is not any harder to do than any other inline 6, be it a Ford or Chevy, GMC, etc. Parts aren't as common for the inline 250 as they are for V8's, but as one will see, there are plenty of info and quite a few suppliers for parts, as well as places that cater to almost nothing but the Chevy inline 6 engines. | ||
