just wondering to settle good beer argument wether a chevy outboard block is the same as a regular vehicle block i beleive the cranks are different but the block i really don't know.
i really meant inboard too many beers but thanks for being kind ,really thought that it could have been but old freind said that the block on a 230 omc he had was heavier than a regular truck block i said no way. thanks alot
he had an 81 thompson sidewinderx-19 sold it for 400.00 cuz the motor locked up showed me pictures and the valve covers had 230 omc on them thats why I assumed thats what it was. Wish I could have got that deal.
I think he means the 230 Hp motor not the 230 CID motor. and I think the 230 CID was inproduction with the 250 CID and there were at least 2 versions of the 250 CID. in cars it was common to designate by CID and boats did it by HP. just marketing
Nope!!!The 250cid replaced the 230cid.in 66. They wasnt in production togather.They did have two or maybe even more versions of the 250cid.I believe GMC even had a version of their own.If they were in the same year,I dont know about it.If they did,I would like to know more about it.When he said 230,I thought he meant CID,that blowed my little mind!!
