Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
Hey, I got one of those! It was prop in a kevin costner movie that no one saw. I 'swagged' it when the pic was over and they were throwing stuff out. I bought a bunch of rods and jets from the Edelbrock Thunderor 1825 for a rebuild. The accelerator pump had a purple leather cup. I couldn't find the 3-stage metering rods, anymore. I have one pair of deep-dish primary jets, that some P.O. had switched to the back, secondary jet position. [.100. I think]
Somebody looked it up on line and said it was out of an early '70s 440 Mopar. I've back burner-ed the project for now but I'd like to know more about your carb for future reference. I never thought about using it on an L6 though. I think 500 CFM for a 296CuIn build: [292 @ .030- over = 296] is already too fat, but , heck, I got tired of always adjusting my Holley 390. After a 25 year run, it was shot...

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
To keep this Chevy related, the spec sheet with the rebuild kit for this carb shows that it was used on 1966 Chevrolet 327's. It was also used on 307, 327 and 350 Chevy Marine engines.
The Mopar 440 AVS had 1 11/16" primary and secondary bores. The 383, 340 carbs had smaller 1 7/16" primary bores. Depends on who you believe, but many list them as 625 and 750 cfm carbs. Edelbrock's cheap copies are listed as 500, 650 and 800. They don't list the bore or venturi sizes so I don't know how they compare. The one with the smaller primary and the flow regulated secondary does not have a problem with a 300 cu in engine from what I've seen. The secondary only flows as much air as the engine can handle.

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
Too late to add pics to my previous post I guess.....here's a shot of the 230 in my '65 C10. She's backed by the SM420 "granny" 4 speed, and I assume 4.11 or higher gears. This was taken a week or so after I got the truck at the beginning of the year. Not much has changed; I cleaned up the battery, and a lot of the dust is gone from tuning and driving her. Other than that, this is how she sits today.

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
I have good news for you.. that is not a 230 pictured, you have a 292!!!!! Your side covers are the 6" tall versions, and your fuel pump is located behind the motor mount on the pass side....

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
hello I6 guys. im new and ignorant to em but very interested in swapping my 350 for a I6 in my 70 c20 in the future. just want to lean what i can about them. which one is the most popular and why? not interested in power really, just a dependable motor. does one motor have cheaper replacement parts over others? are the I6's taller then a sbc?

The 194, 215 (Pontiac), 230, and 250 were pretty much the same block with different bore and stroke. The 292 has a long stroke and corresponding taller block. 250s make acceptable power (torque) and are the easiest to find. Parts are cheap and they are all real easy to work on!

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
thanks for the quick response! so a 250 wouldn't have a problem running a edc and power steering? also could i use the power steering pump from my 350 on it? building custom brackets wouldn't be a problem.

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
Most of the 250s I've owned were manual steering and brakes. There's a lot of threads on this forum with I6 power steering discussed - it's probably better to search them out than to try to explain it in this thread. The six will pull some accessories as long as you just want to cruise around.

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
I finally have all the parts back for my 292. I just got the block back yesterday
![]() I just got it out of the truck and onto a stand. My guy had a heck of a time getting the cam. I think Isky had to mine the iron ore first. ![]() ![]() So I can start putting it all together now. ![]()

It's a good stand, but I wish all 4 wheels would steer.

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
The only way I know of to tell the difference between a 230 and a 250 is by the numbers. That engine in the pics above doesn't look like a 292 to me. Check out the difference in the lifter covers. Also the location of the fuel pump/engine mount:

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
Even that's not certain. The numbers on the motor in my Panel swore up and down that it was a 250, but after I got it apart and checked the stroke, it was a 230. Having said that, I do believe that some PO made it a 230 by switching the rotating assy., for whatever reason.
