20 years ago my uncle put a sprint 6 intake and exh mans on a 230 chevy.
heres what i remeber...he had to grind one or two push rod tubes out and used small brass tubes.

he made an adapter plate out of 1/2 inch plate and it was a bolt on...the ports all line up just some bumps and stuff in the way...it all worked, and i got to ride in the car...

he took a 230 intake and man gaslets and the sprint gaskets and figured out it would work, he was good at adapting etc..

he took a 230..they have steel cranks...and put a 194 head...bumped the comp up like over 10 to 1 ..and used a factory 3 speed overdrive and shoved it all in a 67 elcamino...cant remeber much else, but it was way more efficient and got some ungodly amount of mpg...

i dont know what happened to the car, he passed and we where estranged for years..he got weird i got busy with life...
