What is it a 230 or 250 GM straight 6 F0916CCD 10W147291 Casting #3921968

[Cpotter78!]

These are the only numbers on the motor

 

[Scott Danforth]

its the casting marks on the side of a GM inline six block casting. the casting could be used for one of two motors

one is a 230 cubic inch inline 6 cylinder
one is a 250 cubic inch inline 6-cylinder

both motors are GM truck engine motors with the 250 used as the Mercruiser 165 years back

since the same casting was used by both motors, only differed by rotating assembly, only way to truly tell displacment is to pull the pan and measure the stroke.

now, do you have more context to your question?

Ayuh,..... Could ya provide abit of context to the question,..??

If all you need is the block then yes it will work, you just need to swap everything from the original motor to the "new" block. Depending on how far you want to go it could include swapping the internals, crank, pistons/rods, cam, new bearings, etc....

well its a complete running motor so I was just thinking of putting it in there as is but should it need something I was just wondering if my stuff was better or if the new one was better

 

[Scott Danforth]

Hunt down the serial numbers and look.

I myself would probably build up a 292 vs a 250

Based on the photos the first one looks better. It has genuine mercruiser accessories and will be better off if in fact the parts are oem or equivalent. Swapping over is a process but it can be done. The mercruiser manual gives all the engine specs for a complete teardown/rebuild.

Have no idea based on the second photo what that engine package is

 

[Cpotter78!]

The first two numbers are stamped in a milled shelf on the block the only numbers on it

That casting number could be for either 230 or 250. Merc used 4 of GMs inline 6s...



From the casting number you can rule out the 194 and the 292. One way to determine which of 230/250 would be to pull the head and check the stroke. There may be a block height difference, but I don't know what it is...

Both of those motors came from something else and were transplanted into the boats
