Casting number question, I apologize up front :) - 04/16/09 05:46 AM
I've made about a 3 hour effort looking for information on this engine that is sitting in my shop. I have no idea what it is. and the more I look the more frustrated I'm getting. I did look, honest. I'm a fabricator, if you want this engine in something, I got you covered, right down to making all the parts in CAD. What I'm not, is an engine guy. ...lol... But I'm trying.
Pics tell a thousand words. and all I've been able to gather is that perhaps it's a 230 or a 250...
Information on the site here confused me with it's answer. Is it a 230 or a 250?

I'm up for any help. As near as I can tell, the only difference between a 230 and a 250 is 1" difference on the dipstick location????
