For me the good of the 194 is that I didn't pay anything for it, and it came with all the accessories (fan, dizzy, alt, pulleys, brackets, etc) that I didn't have for my 292 engines. The head was just a bonus found today.


Ditto on my 194, got it for free.
230 pistons are the same as a 283, right?
Looking around the web, I'm starting to think 283's don't get much love these days either. So no cheap pistons I guess.
So balancing will be a must. Anyone have a bare 194 piston they can weigh?
Thanks.
