Chevrolet of England offered two de-bored versions of the 216 so Englanders wouldn't have to pay as much tax. I don't recall the exact cubes. . Canadian Pontiacs used a storked 224 version of the 216 engne in 37 - 38. The web site < http://la.znet.com/~c1937/Cast.htm > doesn't mention the "Cheetah" engine. Good luck, Lou

The 224 CI Pontiac engine was a 216 with a 1/16 inch bore increase. It also had aluminum pistons and was used in some trucks as well as certain Canadian Pontiac models. David Longmuir
