Once it was a 2.5 in the late 70's, it went into everything, and is actually worth some money as a rebuildible core today.
It was in the monzas and the clone cars

Camaro/firebird (82 - 85ish)

and maybe in the cavalier too

The Iron Duke 153cid is not the same as the 151cid they used a good bit in the 80's Fiero's & S-10's. For one, on the later model, the exhaust & intake are on different sides of the engine. The 153 in marine use was usually 110 - 130hp, depending on the years. The 151 in my former '89 S-10 was rated at a whopping 98hp!

In my opinion, the 151cid is a dog & a P.O.S. They were notorious for getting hot spots due to carbon buildup & burning the #2 or #3 piston.
