You were hoping for the 250 inline-6, right?

250 cid I-6 150 T250 & 3 on the tree.
350 cid V8 250 T350

The big dealership in the Peg back in the day was Holiday Chev Olds.
The Haddad's sold and opened Surrey Flag Chev.
I remember Holiday out on W Portage! But how about Terry Balkan Chev-Olds (with Brother Lou)? "You betcha!" Weren't they downtown on the W side of Main St? I bought a float for a Rochester 2-bbl there many years ago.
The 307 was the base engine for the '68 MY only - it succeeded the 283, and was replaced for '69 by the 327. It soldiered on until, I believe, 1973, where it could still be found in the Nova, but 1968 was the only year it was offered in the full-size Chevys.
I believe the 327 was gone from the full-size line up for 1970. (I know there was one in '69 - in '82 I transplanted a 327/TH from a '69 into my '68. The 327/TH replaced a very tired 307/Powerglide.)
I didn't even know there was such a thing as a TH250 - live and learn. Also, at one point I owned a '71 Biscayne - it had the 250 inline-6 and a 2-speed Powerglide, so I'm pretty sure the Powerglide was still offered in the full-size lineup in '69.
