I remeber the Tornado engine in the 714 military vehicle when I was in the service stateside in 67-68.I had duty at a vehicle issue yard in Colorado, the vehicles came in brand new from from St Louis I think, driven by civilians, one driven, one being towed, always running on 5 cylinders, burned valve or bad cam.Half way through the trip , the driver switched tow and towed vehicles cause the first vehicle lost a cylinder.When they were running on 6 way faster than the very dependable but bog slow flathead Mopar 4x4 ammo carrier(like a Power Wagon) that it replaced.
Rebuilt carefully ,the Tornado engine would probably be fine for typical Inliner use.
My old Motors Manual lists the following specs for the 230;bore 3.334, stroke4.375,c/r 8.5, HP 140 @4000,normal oil psi 50, timing 5 degrees,points .020, plugs AE-42 .030, valve clearance .006 intake and exhaust cold
