I have a motor that I am intending to put in my 47 if my 216 is cracked. The number off the side is 3833057. we think it is a 250. I would like to know what year it is and anything else anyone knows about the engine. thanks
My reference material is not that "new" but what i can gather from a google search is that casting #3833057 is an inline 6-cyl produced between '62-70 with a cubic inch displacement of 194 cu. in.
Bore it out to a 230... and it will run for 250,000 miles! The one in my '63 biscayne did! Replaced a water pump at 130K, but that was it!
Sure it will. Let me give you the credentials. 216 (based on the 50 model) GHP 90@3300 rpm, NHP 83@3200 rpm, gross torque 174 ft-lbs@12-2000 rpm, net torque 168 ft-lbs@1100 rpm. 194 GHP 120@4400 rpm, NHP 95@4000 rpm, gross torque 177@2400 rpm, net torque 165@2000 rpm.
Where do you find this stuff Ken? You seem to have all the books with all the technical need to know things in it.
so the 194 has a little more power than the 216 that makes me feel better. Is there an intake out there so I can put dual carbs on it and maybe split exhaust. Also I need a carb for it I used my 216 carb to run it in the stand but the bolds on the 194 were farther apart so I had to use an adapter that turns the carb 1/4 so if I do put it in my truck the linkage wont hook up. what carb will work?
two people! My grandfather and my father. I have read and almost memorized every book, manual, tech bulletin, you name it, that both of them ever owned. They are the fondest memories I have of both of them!
Not To Pi$$ On Your Parade But The 194 C.I. 6 Banger was introduced in 1962 and was GM's very 1st. thinwall casting engine ~ they're O.K. engines , I prefer the 230 or 250 version as the 194 is pretty gutless . many suffered from flat cams just like 350 V-ates did . these engine do _NOT_ suffer dirty oil well so keep it changed regularly... I like the Rochester B1BC Monoblock carby they come with new , in auto choke or manual choke versions they carburet very well and have no flat spots on cold mornings etc.... I had several Chevy II's and Novas plus a Biscayne or two that had this engine , I felt all of them to be underpowered . Me , I'd go find a cheap or free 235 takeout and use that , more useable power and a straight bolt in deal too . '
Refresh my memory Did the 194 have an integral intake/exhaust manifold? For that matter, did the 230?
