At least 10 years later probably. You should get the casting numbers off the block, and the stamped number off the machined pad on the block side, go to a site such as www.mortec.com and decipher the numbers to verify for sure. Originally Posted by Itoldyouso

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

yep that's a 194-250 engine, the valve cover for the engine that it would normally have, a ( 216 I6 ) has 2 valve cover studs on the top of the cover, this 1 has many studs around the sides. the heat riser for the exhaust manifold dosn't look right for the 216-325 faimily but I can't see it well in the pic ither, and the valve cover looks like the 194-250 valve cover.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Is that 194-250 or 194-230? I think the 250 had the two bolt valve cover. I had a 66 chevy that had a 230 that looked identical to this one, unless it came out of a car and is a 194. My guess would be 230.

looks like a "newer"motor than the original '51
195-250 I agree
'51 valve cover was more rounded

It looks like a gm 235 or 250 engine
Check casting numbers on the block to be sure.

Its a 194/230/250, can't tell which from the outside looks. Could also be a 292 truck engine, have to see the other side to tell. The 292 is a higher deck engine, the side cover is deeper.

I agree with R Pope's last comment. If we saw the other side it would tell us if it was a 292 or 250. The 292 had the distributor closer to the front of the engine while the 250 is closer to the center.

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
