I have both a 230 in the pw and a 251 in the wc12 the wc12 seems to have more rpm and goes down the highway a little better maybe a mile or two ahour faster and climbs inclines a lot better on the highways. But the 230 seems to have a lot more stuff when you are just trying to power out of a tight spot. I have the dennon OD on the 46 so the truck keeps up pretty well with the 41 they both run a little over 60 mph all the running gear is stock except for the motor in the wc and the od in the pw it has 583s. I think I would get the 230 built and spend the difference on one of those dennons about $1100.00 just my opinion had it three years run it everwhere no problems. You have to get certain parts to put in a 251 the radiater is not easty to find here nore is the nose cone. Good luck any questions please call 817 937-6580.
