Restoring a 62 nova have some questions about thoughts on the l6 250 motor

Welcome. Ask and someone will give you a answer.

What are the questions?

One initial answer would be that the 250 was not available until 1967. They work great, but a '62 with 6 cylinder would have been a 194 CI engine. You can check the casting numbers on the engine to find out exactly what you have.

I think the inline 6 engines are great. If compression is up, they aren't blowing any smoke or leaking badly, they're fine.

Here's a site that lists casting numbers to help identify your engine:

Good luck!

NOT My Motor ....... but, just what a 62 would look like (with power steering).

? 's ...... ask away.

(I'd use a 250 I-6 , myself ...... more power ..... should be easy to find one, also.

just my 2cents).

Some guys are going to tell you that the old I6 is a boat anchor. Another is going to tell you it's the best thing GM ever built.

Here is what is important. What do YOU think, and what are YOUR goals for this car?

Give us an idea of what you want and we can help you reach your goal! You are the one that has to be happy with the finished product.

JMO. Good luck with your project!!
