The 194, 230, 250, and to some extent the big 292 share a lot of parts, but it's a completely different design to the 216, 235, and 261 engines. Those engines started being used in the early to mid 1960s. The Chevy II and Mercruiser 4 cylinder engines shared a lot of the design features of the later model sixes.
