Thom 6,650 Posted April 28, 2017 Xt to xf 6 cylinder (and xp automatic) all have the same bellhousing pattern so yes c4 will fit the 221, the 2v head will fit the 221 and at the same time turn it into a great little engine, I wish I could find a 2v head for a reasonable price for the 250 in my Mrs xp 1 221XMUTE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted April 28, 2017 Wow 221s are rare too. Besides only being made for a couple of years, a lot got cut up to make stroker Holden red motors. A 221 crank in a crossy would be a sweet engine too. Sent from my CPH1607 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mattler 0 Posted September 28, 2021 If I have a xp200 and was wanting to put a 250 2v head on, is it the same and going to fit on ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thom 6,650 Posted September 28, 2021 If I have a xp200 and was wanting to put a 250 2v head on, is it the same and going to fit on ?It should bolt on, I can't remember if there's any oiling differences in the early pre xflow's compared to the xt and later engines, but comparing head gaskets should be able to tell you pretty fast, there is one downside if it does all work, you will find a decent drop in compression 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
