Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines What good is a 194 engine?

I don't know why you would bother rebuilding a 194 when a 250 bolts right in place.

If you were going to the trouble of a rebuild, buy a 250 crank and at least build a 250, if you cannot find a 292 to build

I had a good running 194. I sold it for $400 to a guy who used it in a hotrod 1928 model A truck. I can imagine in a vehicle that weighs on 1500 lbs, then it could be a fun performer, but for anything 3000+ lbs you simply need more cubes, and especially more stroke.
