Another option to consider. Looks like a nice 225 in the crate on eBay. This is the second time it's been offered. I'd bet $400 would take it. Gilly http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1833550930 tlg225ccr@aol.com

You can do this swap if you change everything in the valve train, cam all the way up to the valve cover. It would be a good idea to install new lifters but if that is not on the budgit, atleast keep each lifter on the same cam lobe. this goes for the push rods and rocker arms also, keep everything in order.
