Re: Confusion Identifying I6 Engine
Casting numbers on the I6 of that generation don't mean much....don't worry about the casting numbers. You have a 230 or 250, not a 292
the 230/250 is a great engine, will rev a little more than the very long stroke 292, and still has a lot of torque.
There is a ton of info on this site, as well as Inliners.org. If you want to hot rod it a little, get Santucci's book. You are correct in Offy intake+small 4bbl+headers. Also use HEI and a mild cam upgrade. For more HP add lumps to the intake ports and flat top pistons.
good luck, enjoying the 6, build it well and it will last another 40 years.
