Hey guys,
Ok so my name is Ken and I live in Oakland CA. I just signed up today and I was hoping to reach out to you all for some assistance in identifying a block casting #. Here is the situation:
A friend gave me a Chevy Inline 6 engine complete. It was pulled out of a 63 SS Nova BUT he thought it was a 250 not a 194. The Leo Santucci book lists as a 250 block # 3994258. The engine I have shows a block # of 3994257, so only the last number is different. I know it is not a 292 because the sideplate height is only around 5" so we can eliminate the 292 as a possibility.
Soo>>> the quesiton is: is block casting 3994257 a 194, 230 or a 250 block please and thank you! Once I have this answer, I intend to get a cam, head, intake, and exhaust combo and built it up to go into a daily driver 63 Nova hardtop. If you could assist me in figuring out what I am working with, that would be very much appreciated.
Gratzi Padres,
