    Title says it all,

    The 225 in my '67 is going to need to be replaced within the year. The block has already been bored .080 over and it needs a couple of valve guides replaced in the head.

    I have done some research and have found a couple of places where I can get a reconditioned 225 for around $1500, but that is a bit out of the price range and I'm not sold on anything that I've found.

    I like the six, and don't want to swap it for an eight.

    Any advice on how I should move forward?

    I'll see my friend today and ask him again. I'll let you know what he says.
