Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines 69 Chevy straight six project help

As to engine identification so far it does sound like a 230, still possibly a 250. The difference between the 230/250/292 is the stroke. To accommodate the stroke on the 292 the block is almost 2 inches taller. The 292 side covers are 6 inches high vs 4 inches for the 230/250. Good luck with your project.
