did chevy make a 230 IL-6?

need to know

 

I know they came in Pontiacs in '67 and '68. Same as a Chevy six.

 

yes

 

230, 250, 292 are all the same family thought I'd try to beat squillel on this one haha

 

forgot the 194......the head was often used on 250's and 292's in race applications....brandon

 

Pontiac also had a 215 in this family

 

I believe the 230 came out in 1963 to replace the 235. It was a 194 in the Chevy II

 

My 67 chevelle had one originally.

 

as did my 66 Chevy II

 

My 67 GMC Van had one also. They seem to run forever.

 

The Pontiac 230-6 was a single overhead cam six, about the only Chevy parts that interchange are the crank and rods. Later a 250 cube version was built, the Pontiac OHC-6 was discontinued altogether after the '69 model year.

The Pontiac 215 offered in '64 -'65 was essentially a cam-in-block Chevy 230 six with a Pontiac-specific bore size, 3.750" for the 215 vs 3.875" for the 230.

 

I got one in my chevy truck ('63). Still trying to figure out how the pontiac 215 ended up in my truck. oh well.

yup chevy trucks had them in '63

 

65 was the first year the 230 came out in the Novas the last year for it in the nova was 70.

 

I think your wrong on the date, it was 63 they came out.

 

I've got a 72 ventura with a 230, great little motor. Simple and reliable.

 

My chilton book shows 65 as being the first year.for the novas. And i have owned them all from 62-70 and i have never came across a 230 in any before 65. But Date codes/Casting numbers may show differently I hope these casting numbers help.(3788406) 62-69 3850817 62-78 being 230 or 250
