To tell if yours is a 230 pull a spark plug and see if the piston is a flat top, to tell if it's a 250 the piston will have a dish. And you'll be able to see the dish as it will be a D shape. If yours is a 230 you can stroke it to a 250 with a 250 crank, rods, and pistons, OR just find a 250. But since you are on a budget and if you have a 230 I'd go v8 at that point.
But if you have a 250 they are Really good for making power out of. Naturally aspirated with a street build one made 320 hp and 275 torque.

I'll have to check the displacement, I was hoping the 650 would work if turbo'd later, perhaps jetted down... Otherwise I'll just sell it to get the right combo. Well at leadt the block is the same for the 230 & 250, that way when I rebuild it down the line I can do the 250 setup, with turbo in mind. For now I'll just drop it in & see about a 2 barrel'
