Not totally sure what engine I have in my 65 C10 truck. I think it's a 230.... but if someone can tell me for sure I would appreciate it. [img]http://www.tabbnet.com/C10/C10engineShot.jpg[/img]

It is hard to tell by that photo but it does not appear to be a 292. It is a 230 or 250.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

If the side covers are 6gh it is a 292. 65 may have been the first year for the 250. Pull a plug and check to the pistons, flat top pistons 230, dished piston 230. Check the engine code on the distributor pad. It will tel eng, model, trans, problem is finding a decoder. Hope that helps.

Thanks guys for the input. I forgot to mention that when I bought the truck, the owner said he had rebuilt the engine... the original had thrown a rod... "the block is from a Nova, the rest is the 65". That's all I know... so I am wondering exactly what engine I now have. Will the code on the distributor pad tell me that?
