   The 51 Commander with the engine issue that I just hit the BIN on
will be headed to Md in a week or so. If the 232 is a easy fix, it'll
stay, if not, it'll be a 289 swap. maybe made to lonk like stock from
the outside. I assume the DG 250 will handle a 2 barrel 289 ? Brian
Scott has first dibs on the car when it's road ready.

Considering that a 232 used a DG-200 through 1954/55 and as far as I
know the 250 version was limited to 259 President engines, I don't know
about compatibility with with a 289.  Eventually, my '55 Prez will see a
289 but most likely with a HD 1st gear start FOM...

Thanks for the correction, I guess that means the DG 200 might be
marginal with the bigger engine.
