    While I have not done it myself, all the research I've done says that you can.

    Putting a 230 head on a 250 can bump your compression a little, from what I've read.

    I have a 250 that came with HEI out of an early 80's van that I plan on using as well.

    Glad to hear that the head swap was relatively straight forward!
