thats great! what motor is it? my 230 runs 17-20 i've read recently the 250 and especially the 292 are nowhere close to the mpg a 230 can run. |
Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
The trick is on the inside. I had it bored over .040 and about .005 to .007 off of the top of the block to clean it up - rusty and about .020 off of the head for the same reason. I ported and polished the head installing a COMP Cam similar to the Mercury Marine cam. finally I used 307 pistons and they are flat top not dished like the 250s are.

yeah for sure the inline 6's will always be better on gas compared to a v8 of any kinda my dad has a 3/4 ton dodge with a 440 that runs 7-8 mpg to lol do you know since the 230 and the 250 are basicly the same can a 230 be bored out to a 292 since a 250 could? |

IIRC the 292 has the same bore as the 250 but the longer stroke. |

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Nice & clean I like that color blue, did you install the lump ports yourself or have it sent out? Very purty with the finned covers and what's the skinny on the fuel injection?..Vernski
