At what RPM is Red line for Each: 1-Stock In line Chevy 6 and 2-stock 350 Chevy?

Question:
Which has a quicker jump from a start and which has the highest RPM ability. I had a 250 or a 290 truck, in line 6, with a 3 speed ( I don't remember which) in my Chevy ll When i was younger and I always out ran 305's and some 350's (all stock in the late 80's.) I always thought an in line 6 had more GO-GO power..than the small v-8's The problem is I have seen what a stock 350 will do to a 62 Chevy ll. Breaks most everything including twisting the frame. I just want some eye catching power but I'm not going to be racing John Force. If you know what I mean.. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.. Thanks
I will be using a 2 sp powerglide transmission with this engine, and 411 rear.

The in-line 6's had a lot of low end torque, but are not too happy over about 4,000 rpm. In-line 6 performance parts are few and far between, and expensive. If you're going to be doing a little racing you can't beat the bang for the buck of a small block Chevy. Parts are plentiful and reasonable.

How do i get my radio code 4 my '99 es Lexus radio?

I know the 4.3L V6 in my truck has beat anything through first gear I have ever raced (With one exception, a modified 350) It will outrun a Ford F-350 with a 6.5 turbodiesel, a Ford F-150 with a 4.2, a new Acura, a 90 something BMW M5, a Kia Optima, and some others.

The only nagging problem with the 250 or 292 in racing applications is the stock crankshaft, short connecting rods, cast pistons and a cylinder head that doesn't breathe well over 4,500 rpm. You can correct all these problems by using longer rods, forged pistons and some professional porting. You'll have to address the intake and add some headers. GM. builds several (small) engine blocks that can be bored to 4.185 safely. If you added a short stroke crankshaft ( 3.000 - 3.125 - 3.250 - 3.375 - 3.480) forged pistons, long rods, you'd have a copy of Bill " Grumpy" Jenkins pro stock motor that was in Grumpy's Toy # 9 and 10.

Please help, I need the new n° for 55264697/98/99 - AVIS office situated in Andheri -Thanks,?

if you want some decent power go with a 350 with vortec heads a mild cam and a four barrel carb, it's easy to piece together reliable and won't break the bank. i would do away with that powerglide though and put a auto with an overdrive(700r4 are plentiful and cheep to get rebuilt) if you plan to run 4.11 gears, or you will wear out that motor quick. and just so you will know a Chevy II dose not have a frame it is a uni-body car with a front k member.
