My 65 C10 has an inline 6 that is not original to the truck and I would like to figure out what engine it is. The casting number on the block is 3921968 which I have determined means it is either a 230 or a 250 from a Chevy or Oldsmobile. Where do I go from here? How do I find out which one it is?

Find the engine code on the flat boss just to the rear of the distributor.
This site gives a nice explanation of how to interpret the code.

This site gives more info on that generation of sixes and expands the listings of the engine code suffixes.

Hope this helps.
