I'm going back to the stock 250 in my 66 Chevy. I have my 230 advertised for a low price, but can't find any takers. Hope it's ok to offer it in this forum for free to anyone who will give it a home. My new motor comes back in two weeks, and I need to have the garage cleared by then...(wife's orders)!

I would rather see a person use the inline than throw it away.

I referred you to Heikki Nurmi in Finland, who needs a motor to replace his frozen 216 in his '37 Chevy truck. He is having his truck restored at a shop here in the U.S. He'll be contacting you inquiring about the engine shortly.

What's a 230? When did they build it? What was it used in?

The 230 was one of the 7 main bearing L22 series straight 6s. The 194 was introduced in '62, the rest of the 230 and 292 were brought out in '63. The 230 was later increased in size to 250 ci. The 250 was used through the early 80s in vans and trucks, the 292 was used in trucks through the late 80s in US trucks, and continued in production in Mexico until at least the late 90s.
