Head treatment, valves, springs, lump ports would be the same. They have the same bore 3.875. Strokes are 3.250 for the 230 and 3.530 for the 250. The 230 might be the best for a turbo set up because the shorter stroke gives the crank pins more overlap. What are you putting it in?

THR and THH are 76-77 292 codes. I have the others somewhere, doggone it. I think it looks like anything with first letter "T" is a truck code?
